Generative AI for Chip Design - Practical Experience and Where the Future Lies
Wednesday, June 26 | 11:15 am - 12:00 pm
Generative AI has dominated the news in the past year. As a leader in generative AI and in semiconductor development, Microsoft's silicon development team was one of the first to explore the potential advantages of generative AI for chip design. This talk will cover Microsoft's experiences with leveraging Gen AI technologies for EDA, where we've found the most success and where we believe solutions should come from our partners and suppliers. It will cover the advantages we see today, what we envision in the near future, and how the technology can help Microsoft and the semiconductor industry meet the coming challenges for chip development.
