The Impact Of AI Automation On Chip Design

Key takeaways: Tools are currently built with a defined notion of how they will be used. For agentic solutions they will be transformed into collections of callable engines. Agents may be built by EDA companies for design houses or larger design houses may build their own, potentially transforming the EDA business model. The role of engineers will change, but exactly how is not certain. Agentic solutions are more than a wrapper on top of existing tools. They will transform tools into sets of cal
