<br>
AI software is rapidly accelerating chip design, potentially leveling<br>
up the speed of innovation across the economy.<br>

Quotes:<br>
Just like AlphaZero, an AI trained to design chips can run through<br>
options far faster than an engineer can. As a result, engineers are<br>
now able to rapidly design chips that aren’t just “good enough,” but<br>
great.<br>
<br>
“AI is already performing parts of the design process better than<br>
humans,” Bill Dally, chief scientist and senior VP of research at<br>
Nvidia.<br>
<br>
“We would love to see a future where AI could help automate and<br>
optimize the entire chip design process for many kinds of chips,” said<br>
Mirhoseini and Goldie. “Imagine whenever someone wants to design a new<br>
chip, they could simply describe an application to a future version of<br>
AlphaChip, which then outputs a fully specified chip design that is<br>
ready for manufacturing.”<br>

<br>
Hmmmm. So we don't understand how LLM AIs do their thinking, but<br>
we'll let them design chips that we also won't understand how they<br>
work either.<br>
What could possibly go wrong?<br>
