AI Designs Computer Chips We Can't Understand — But They Work Really Well


As AI pushes the boundaries of chip design, it raises a dilemma: can we trust systems we don’t fully understand?

The AI-driven method focused on designing wireless chips, which are extremely important for high-frequency applications like 5G networks, radar systems, and advanced sensing technologies. On a practical level, over-reliance on AI might erode the foundational knowledge and skills of human designers, creating a gap in expertise should the technology fail or be unavailable.
