In the American Southwest, and increasingly around the world, extreme heat creates conditions that are not merely uncomfortable but physiologically dangerous, multiplying the already staggering risks of homelessness.

AI firms have harnessed vast amounts of capital from other technology companies, and they have used it to create a hugely disruptive technology.

The rapid convergence of emerging digital technologies is reshaping the concept and implementation of Smart Cities. This work presents a comprehensive overview of how Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Digital Twins (DT), Extended Reality (XR), and the Metaverse collectively enable a new paradigm for urban transformation.

As generative AI reshapes technology, research, and publication practices, the call for ethical leadership is stronger than ever. This September, join the IEEE Society on Social Implications of Technology (SSIT) for the inaugural IEEE Ethics Week, a global celebration of ethical innovation, integrity, and responsibility in the digital era. Read the President’s Message to explore SSIT’s five-dimensional ethics strategy and learn how you can participate as a volunteer, contributor, or partner in this landmark event.

The International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS) is the annual flagship conference of the IEEE Society on Social Implications of Technology (SSIT).

Gisele Waters, SSIT Standards Committee Working Group Chair for IEEE P3119-2025, has been recognized with a 2025 Standards Award, the IEEE SA – Emerging Technology Award.

Digital enterprises have become increasingly monopolistic, individualistic beyond narcissistic to the point of lamentably solipsistic, devastatingly careless of human potential, and environmentally wasteful.

One of the biggest challenges of teaching such a course is the remarkable pace of change in technology and the societal response. The curriculum is in near constant evolution and must explicitly address how students should develop their continuous learning skills.
