ACM

The main professional body for computer science, and publisher of a huge research library.

The ACM, or Association for Computing Machinery, is the largest professional organisation for computing. It runs conferences, sets professional guidelines, and awards the Turing Award, often called the Nobel Prize of computer science.

It appears in AI news mostly through its Digital Library, an enormous archive of computer science papers. Who gets to read that research, and whether AI systems may train on it, is exactly the kind of access question the field is now wrestling with.
