Fadel Abbas Sabah, MScCollege of Computer Science and Information Technology Propaganda, in its broad sense, refers to the dissemination of information and directing a focused set of means to influence the opinions or behaviors of a larger number of people. It contradicts objectivity in presenting information. Propaganda, in its simplest meaning, is presenting incomplete information with the aim of influencing the targeted recipient. Thus, false information is presented by withholding complete information, aiming to emotionally impact individuals. Therefore, propaganda is a type of media manipulation, where media…

Asst. Prof. Dr. Heba Jabbar Aleqabie Prof. Dr. Asia Mahdi Naser Alzubaidi Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology How we connect, share, and communicate with one another has been profoundly altered by the widespread use of social media platforms. It’s possible that using social media has a harmful effect on our mental health, but research on the subject is currently limited (Fardouly et al., 2018). As seen in Figure 1, the psychology of social media is multifaceted and includes concepts like self-worth, social comparison, and addiction.…

Asst. Prof. Dr. Heba Jabbar Aleqabie Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology The world’s attention has increasingly turned to sustainability and green programming due to several interconnected factors. These include increased worries about climate change, the need for resource conservation, and the awareness of the economic and social advantages of sustainable practices. Green programming, formerly referred to as sustainable programming or eco-friendly programming, is the process of building software applications and systems with the goal of reducing their environmental effect. It entails using coding techniques, software…

Asst. Prof. Dr. Noor D. Al-Shakarchy Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology Artificial immune systems (AIS) is a subfield of artificial intelligence (AI) inspired by the biological immune system. The goal of AIS is to develop computational models and algorithms that can mimic the functions of the natural immune system and apply them to solve complex problems in various fields, including optimization, pattern recognition, data mining, and anomaly detection. The natural immune system is a highly adaptive and robust system that can…

Asst. Prof. Dr. Noor D. Al-Shakarchy Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology Artificial life, also known as digital organisms, refers to the simulation of living systems or organisms using computer software and hardware. Digital organisms are computer programs designed to mimic the characteristics and behaviors of living organisms, such as reproduction, mutation, evolution, and adaptation to changing environments. They are virtual creatures that can reproduce, mutate, and evolve in a simulated environment. Digital organisms are usually implemented as populations of software agents…

Asia Mahdi Naser Alzubaidi Asst. Prof. Dr. Heba Jabbar Aleqabie Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology Deepfake technology has been rapidly advancing over the past few years, allowing for the creation of realistic but false images or videos of an event that never happened. This technology utilizes artificial intelligence algorithms to superimpose the image of one person onto the body of others (Figure 1). The process entails feeding the video of two people into deep learning and training algorithms to exchange faces Deepfake employs a facial…

Asst. Proof. Dr. Noor D. Al Shakarchy Asst. Proof. Dr Hiba Jabbar Aleqabie Computer Science and Information Technology Autonomic Computing Autonomic computing is a computing model in which computer systems and software applications are designed to self-manage, self-configure, self-heal, and self-optimize with minimal human intervention. Autonomic computing seeks to minimize the need for human supervision and intervention by designing computer systems that can function autonomously and adapt to changing circumstances. The term “autonomic” is derived from the autonomic nervous system of the human body, which controls many…

Assist. Prof. Dr. Ruaa Abdulridha Saeed Alsabah Assist. Prof. Dr. Ashwan A. Abdulmunem Computer Science and Information Technology A new revolution in the search engine industry is looming with the emergence of “ChatGPT,” a modern technology that utilizes artificial intelligence to provide accurate answers to people’s queries while also admitting errors and dismissing inappropriate questions. OpenAI, a research startup co-founded by Sam Altman, Elon Musk, Ilya Sutskever, John Schulman, and Greg Brockman created an innovative paradigm of natural language processing which is called ChatGPT [1]. The idea…
