 The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into electronic design automation (EDA) heralds a transformative era for chip design. This presentation explores the symbiotic relationship between AI-driven EDA and the evolution of chip design methodologies.
 Leveraging generative AI and classical deep learning models, EDA processes are poised to optimize chip performance, efficiency, and societal impact while bolstering reliability and security. AI-driven EDA accelerates time to market, reduces chip design costs,
 and democratizes access to advanced semiconductor technologies, fostering innovation for a more inclusive and prosperous society. Furthermore, Generative AI techniques pave the way for robust and secure chip architectures. The incorporation of AI in EDA significantly
 impacts cost reduction, making chip design more accessible and affordable for diverse communities and industries. This talk elucidates how AI-driven EDA is reshaping the landscape of chip design, enabling high-performance, cost-efficient, and reliable solutions
 that cater to the evolving needs of the semiconductor industry.</span></span><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
