Artificial Intelligence is an avenue to innovation that is touching every industry worldwide. AI has made rapid advances in areas like speech and image recognition, gaming, and even self-driving cars. In the area of chip design, we see a growing gap in what designer’s want to achieve and what the available resources and time allow. This presentation will provide an overview of recent AI trends, show how the latest AI technology including Generative AI can be applied to optimize and automate chip design tasks from architectural design to digital and analog implementation, optimizing silicon life cycles and improving yield. We will also discuss future AI trends and opportunities to accelerate time to market, improve productivity and achieve better quality of results.
