Artificial intelligence is no longer merely the driving force behind global semiconductor demand, but is also actively reinventing how chips are designed and built, industry leaders and scientists said at a major science forum in Shanghai on Friday.
Chen Yunji, co-founder of AI chipmaker Cambricon Technologies, predicted that the integration between AI and chip design would eventually automate the chip design process entirely.
“In the [next] 10 years, the most important development … is the RSI (recursive self-improvement) techniques for artificial intelligence, where AI models improve AI models, and AI chips improve AI chips,” Chen said.
