Speech Abstract:

Designing the Future of Electronic Design with AI

The semiconductor industry faces unprecedented challenges—design complexity, compressed timelines, and talent shortages. While mainstream AI has achieved rapid adoption, EDA applications require overcoming stringent quality requirements unique to semiconductor design.

This presentation explores how AI-powered EDA solutions deliver productivity gains by analyzing design data, optimizing processes, and generating superior designs. We'll examine ML, GenAI, and agentic approaches while addressing adoption challenges including data availability, model interpretability, and computational demands.

The session presents a vision for centralized EDA AI platforms combining sophisticated foundational models with multimodal data lakes to unlock unprecedented GenAI and agentic capabilities. We'll showcase how this integrated approach enables more efficient, scalable, and intelligent design processes.

Join us to explore how AI is transforming EDA workflows and the future of semiconductor design automation.
