HC2024-T1.2: AI Assisted Hardware Design - Will AI Elevate or Replace Hardware Engineers?

Tutorial 1, part 2, Hot Chips 2024, Sunday, August 25, 2024.
Organizer: Bryan Chin, UCSD
This tutorial gives a general introduction to AI modeling concepts, with a particular focus on LLMs (Large Language Models, like ChatGPT). The various presenters then look at how these models are being applied to chip design methodologies, with applications ranging across topics like automatically writing common code segments and improving design optimization algorithms. Finally, all of the speakers come together onstage for a group panel session to answer a variety of questions.
