On June 20, it was reported that Apple is considering using artificial intelligence to accelerate the design of customized chips at the core of its devices. Johny Srouji, Apple's senior vice president of hardware technology, said that a key lesson the company learned was the need to use cutting-edge tools to design chips."Electronic Design Automation (EDA) companies are crucial in supporting the complexity of our chip design. Generative AI technology has great potential to complete more design work in less time and can greatly improve productivity." However, Apple Insider reports that Apple has used AI to some extent in its designs for many years, and the third-party EDA companies it has relied on have used AI and machine learning in chip design.
