AI – Enabling a Revolution in Chip Design Productivity

Tobias Bjerregaard
Senior Director of AI
Synopsys

Body
AI, and in particularly generative AI technologies, are set to transform entire industries. AI-based chip design flows are yielding better results and improving designer productivity by adding automation capabilities to assist human experts in the design process. In this talk I will look at the history of AI that has led us to this point and outline key uses of AI in EDA. I will look across the EDA stack at where AI-based approaches have made the highest impact and also look at how generative AI technologies can help capture human knowhow and as such help to mitigate the talent gap that the chip design industry is facing.
