SUMMARY:Why Is EDA Playing Catchup to Disruptive Technologies Like AI? Wha
 t Can We Do to Change This?
DESCRIPTION:Research Panel\n\nSandeep Srinivasan (VerifAI); Brian Bailey (
 TBD); Prith Banerjee (Ansys); Jan Rabaey (University of California, Berkel
 ey); Samir Mittal (Micron); James Scapa (Altair); and Charles Alpert (Cade
 nce Design Systems, Inc.)\n\nThe panel will candidly discuss if and why ED
 A misses disruptive innovation and chooses incremental advancements.\nThe 
 EDA industry claims to have the maximum number of PhDs. Still, the last di
 sruptive innovation from EDA was Logic Synthesis, P&R, Logic Simulation, a
 nd Formal Methods, invented decades ago.\n\nThis panel will attempt to ans
 wer the elements required to create bold disruptions. Does the EDA industr
 y need a collective goal, like in other sectors? Does the EDA business duo
 poly hinder startup innovation?\n\nThe discussion will cover the following
  topics:\n1. Current State of EDA and AI\nThe panel will be discussing the
  current state of AI . They will cover topics such as LLMs, RAG, and RL, a
 nd the next steps for these technologies.\n2. Efficiency versus Discovery 
 and Innovation\nThe panel will discuss the tension between efficiency, dis
 covery, and innovation in the EDA and Semi industry. They will discuss how
  to balance these competing goals and how to create an environment that en
 courages both.\n3. Closed-Form Solution Mindset\nThe panel will discuss th
 e challenge of getting beyond the "closed-form solution" mindset. They wil
 l explore how this mindset can limit the potential of the EDA industry and
  how to break free from it.\n4. Impact of AI on Workforce\nWill AI change 
 the nature of work in the EDA and Semiconductor industries? If so, how can
  we prepare the workforce for these changes?\n5. Fostering Disruptive Inno
 vation\nFinally, the panel will discuss how to foster disruptive innovatio
 n in the EDA and Semi industry. They will explore the necessary factors fo
 r disruptive innovation to occur and how to create an environment that enc
 ourages it.\n\nTopic: AI, EDA
