AI and VLSI: A Symbiotic Revolution Enriching Our Lives and Shaping Our Future

DescriptionThe recent AI revolution has dramatically reshaped computing, with VLSI technology playing a crucial role. This panel aims to unite industry and academic leaders to explore the symbiosis between AI and VLSI, highlighting how each fuels advancements in the other. We will discuss AI's role in driving innovations in VLSI and computer hardware, from specialized AI chips to advanced architectures, faster I/O, and increased memory capacities. Conversely, we will explore how VLSI advancements, such as GPUs and custom AI accelerators, power AI's rapid growth. As AI permeates EDA tools, we will examine its potential to revolutionize chip design, optimizing performance, power, and time-to-market. We will also debate whether hardware's slower development pace compared to software has hindered or paradoxically benefited AI's progress. The panel will address AI's sustainability challenges, questioning if next-gen hardware can meet AI's massive computational demands sustainably or exacerbate energy consumption and environmental impacts. Through this panel, we would like to inspire future VLSI pioneers, especially women and young engineers, by showcasing cutting-edge AI-VLSI synergies and igniting creativity to redefine technological frontiers. Join us to explore how these interconnected fields collaboratively shape computing's future.
