It's our annual Open Days tomorrow & Friday when hundreds of potential students come to find out what it's really like to study Computer Science 💻 here at Cambridge Uni. They can hear admissions talks & sample lectures - and try lock-picking with the Computer Security group! buff.ly/0j5OGJT

The rapid rise in AI-generated fraudulent academic papers is "poisoning" scientific literature, say Cambridge researchers in Nature magazine today. But though AI is the problem, it could also help in ensuring the integrity of scientific discovery... buff.ly/AuSNcGd @anil.recoil.org @sadiq.toao.com

🎨 Artists urgently need stronger defences 🛡️ to protect their work from being used to train #AI models without their consent. So say the researchers, led by a Security PhD student here, who uncovered critical weaknesses in two art safeguarding tools very widely used by artists... buff.ly/IiTrzLb

Congratulations to Prof Srinivasan Keshav on receiving the inuagural #ACM SIGEnergy Achievement Award for his "pioneering contributions to energy systems and informatics, including seminal research, capacity building, and helping to create SIGENERGY and eEnergy." energy.acm.org/sigenergy-ac...

From today, @theguardian.com's new Secure Messaging system will generate dummy messages as 'air cover' for real messages sent by whistleblowers. This is to stop adversaries seeing that they're contacting journalists. The new system builds on security research carried out here: shorturl.at/Et0Rf

"One of the next frontiers for AI lies in deciphering human-centred data captured by wearable devices," says Dr Dong Ma, who'll join us next year as Associate Professor in Wearable Computing. "This holds the promise of tackling some profound societal challenges..." www.cst.cam.ac.uk/news/new-ass...
