Why Artificial Intelligence will make hardware design more complex
n recent months, we have seen growing excitement around the role of artificial intelligence in hardware design. It is not hard to understand why. Increasingly advanced machine learning models are now capable of generating architectures, optimising layouts, and accelerating processes that, until recently, required intensive work from engineering teams. But while many celebrate this growing automation, at Detus we look at this phenomenon from a different perspective.
