ACM will no longer require disclosure of the use of #generativeAI in writing papers.... an absolutely terrible change by the @ACM Publications Board to the Policy on Authorship.

Just last year, the same ACM's late CEO Vicki L. Hanson selected and invited some of us to discuss what computing's responsibility for climate change is and develop guidance for @ACM policy. In the resulting report, we said that "computing’s purpose within a strategy for tackling climate change must be reimagined." (See the report for more.)
Is ACM going to be part of this reimagination?

What I do know is that these conversations to reimagine computing for ecological and just futures ARE taking place and that people have inspiring ideas, wonderful collaborations and fabulous results to share, including - among others - at #LIMITS2026 in two weeks, proudly independent of ACM and free to attend, everywhere at once

oh but we can't possibly be expected to keep track of what we do with our computers when we produce ten papers each week!

Yes, this will give ACM more papers. No, the ideology of "number go up" productivism is not the path to responsible, ecological or ethical computing, but to irrelevance. #AIslop
Damn...now thinking of changing instances. The amount of "AI“ posts I've seen definitely went up over h years, but to give level footing with actual authors? I disaree.

@cbecker @nyhan Whoever wrote that policy has perhaps never written a paper. Writing is an integral part of doing research.
How about developing dedicated tools for uncritical writing-related tasks such as spell checking? And not call them AI? They would then *automatically* be outside of the scope of AI policies. A simple and smart move! We should have thought of this long ago.

@cbecker as the result of such a policy, i wonder how many regular reviewers for acm journals/conferences will refuse to do this task. it will be at least one (counting myself).
