Hands-On, No-Code AI for Community Colleges

Artificial intelligence is now part of everyday tools. How should community colleges teach it to non-STEM students?

Researchers tested AI User, a no-code, scenario-based online curriculum, with four focus groups of community college instructors.

Instructors loved exploratory, real-world tasks that let students experiment safely with AI.
They preferred interactive demonstrations over slides or static concept guides.
Key needs: stronger scaffolding for beginners, accessibility by design, and multimodal support (text, visuals, audio).

Bottom line: Make AI literacy hands-on and relevant. Pair playful scenarios with clear guardrails and inclusive design, so diverse learners can evaluate, communicate with, and question AI systems, without writing code.

Automating GDPR Compliance: A Roadmap for Companies and Law Firms

GDPR compliance is more than checkboxes. A new roadmap from the Privatech project shows how automation and machine learning can help companies and law firms assess—and even generate—privacy compliance. * Shift the focus to data processors’ real workflows: drafting policies, mapping data uses, documenting decisions. * Break compliance into machine-ready

FPGAs for Faster, Leaner Deep Learning: A Review of CNN Accelerators

Deep learning drives image search, robots, and medical scans. Most systems lean on CPUs and GPUs. This review asks: what if we run convolutional neural networks (CNNs) on FPGAs—reconfigurable chips you can tailor to the model? * Why FPGAs: custom dataflows, low latency, and strong energy efficiency—great for cameras,

Dynamic-K: Recommendations That Know When to Stop

Most apps show a fixed number of “top” items—say 10 movies or 20 products—assuming there are always enough good options. But that’s not always true: sometimes there are few relevant items, or some users are extra picky. The result? Filler recommendations. Dynamic-K flips the script. Instead of

Teaching chatbots to stop contradicting themselves (DECODE)

Teaching chatbots to stop contradicting themselves Ever had a bot say one thing, then the opposite a few turns later? This study introduces DECODE—a new task and dataset for spotting contradictions in everyday conversations, drawn from both human-human and human-bot chats. * New data beats existing natural language inference (NLI)
