On the Cusp: Computing Thrills and Perils and Professional Awakening

Summary: Computing’s maturation demands ecosystem reforms and stronger professional norms to safely translate research into practice, unlike highly regulated fields. Uses generative AI as a case study of risks (digital-record contamination, loss of agency, threats to personhood). (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
