SHINE management was honoured to welcome Prof. Alberto Sangiovanni-Vincentelli, Edgar L. and Harold H. Buttner Chair at the University of California, Berkeley, for a seminar held at NUS on 15 September 2025. He delivered a thought-provoking talk titled “AI for Chip Design: Hype or Reality?”, which sparked engaging discussions among faculty, researchers, and students.
In his talk, Prof. Sangiovanni-Vincentelli critically examined the transformative promise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in chip design and development. He explored the rapid rise of AI, driven by the explosion of big data and advances in computing power, and unpacked the evolution of key technologies including Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Generative AI.
The seminar provided a nuanced look at AI’s real-world impact and highlighting both its potential and limitations. Prof. Sangiovanni-Vincentelli also shared practical case studies from the chip industry, offering insights into how these technologies are being applied today.
We thank Prof. Sangiovanni-Vincentelli for an engaging and thought-provoking session that sparked meaningful discussions within our research community.
