The WITCH Computer has lived many lives over seven decades.

Built in the early 1950s using relays designed for telephone exchanges, it continues to run after a team of volunteers painstakingly restored it relay by relay. It now lives on at @tnmoc.

“We cannot audit code for ethics or bias; there is no scalable way to do that.” - Kayne McGladrey, IEEE Senior Member

When AI makes decisions about people, human oversight isn’t optional. Who’s responsible for fairness in the systems you build?

Next time your code breaks, blame a moth.

Edison coined the term “bug” in the 1870s. In 1947, Grace Hopper’s team found a moth in a Harvard Mark II relay and pasted it in the logbook to document the first-ever computer bug.

Sci-fi and imaginative fiction have inspired generations of engineers and innovators. IEEE members reflect on the stories that sparked their interest in STEM and set them on the path toward innovative breakthroughs.

ELIZA could be a therapist, tutor, math genius or a New Englander who would like you to know that Missouri is not a New England state.
