Foundation Models and Democratization of AI
ABSTRACT
The field of AI is undergoing a revolution: we are moving from individual AI models are trained for specific tasks to large, general-purpose models (ChatGPT being one of the most widely known instances) that can be applied to many different tasks. This move can have a substantial impact upon the semiconductor and MEMS industries as well, spanning development, design, and downstream usage. In this session I will highlight the underlying changes in AI that are causing this change and emphasize some of the implications and potential use cases in this sector.
