The work of weeks and months done in just a few hours?
Researchers at Princeton University and the Indian Institute of Technology Madras have developed a AI that can design new millimeter wave chips for 5G modems in record time (viaNature).
This is how AI revolutionizes the chip design
The conventional process for the development of new chips is time -consuming and requires a lot of expertise. Engineers use proven templates. Nevertheless, there are often failed attempts until a functioning chip arises.
The researchers of the study have now chosen a new approach:
- The AI was trained on an inverted design method
- Instead of working with templates, the AI only receives the desired outputs
- Based on the required functionality, it independently determines the necessary inputs and parameters

Surprising results
Kaushik Sengupta, professor at Princeton University, explains that the AI generated designs are hardly understandable for people:
The results differ greatly from human designs because they look random. They are even so confused that people cannot understand them properly.
The amazing: When the researchers actually manufactured some of these apparently chaotic designs, they not only worked - some even exceeded the performance of conventional chips.
But not everything is perfect: The scientists admit that AI Hallucinations in some designs led to the fact that they were doomed to fail from the start.
The technology could nevertheless be a significant breakthrough for the chip industry by drastically accelerating the development process and possibly even producing more powerful designs than people could design them.
