Speech Title: Semiconductor in Artificial Intelligence
Abstract: This speech begins with interesting commonalities between Semiconductor & AI, followed by their synergism. The presenter will talk about the past, the present, and, the future of semiconductor, semiconductors in the AI era. Since the invention of transistors and integrated circuits, the semiconductor market has grown to six “S” curves with inflection points. Today, the semiconductor is matured, but not deteriorated and no replacement. Moore’s law has ended, but Semiconductor is still growing. Scaling can hardly continue, but we can innovate with new architecture, networks, devices, and materials. The explosion of AI not only offers a strong market pull but also provides a technology push to advance semiconductor manufacturing and IC design. This mutual reinforcement shall accelerate AI and Semiconductor to the fourth industrial revolution.
