Signal Integrity Journal Webinar Series

Title: Online Panel: The Promise of AI in System Design

Date: March 14, 2025

Time: 8am PT / 11am ET

Sponsored by: Samtec, Cadence, Siemens and Zuken

Panel Participants: Eric Bogatin (University of Colorado Boulder - moderator), Scott McMorrow (Samtec), Gary Lytle (Cadence), David Wiens (Siemens), and Dr. Kyle Miller (Zuken)

Abstract:
If you are part of the electronics industry, you will be impacted by the Artificial intelligence revolution. This will be as developers of new AI technologies and applications, and as users of AI tools in our daily activities. In the design flow for electronic products, AI will bring positive changes but also comes with new risks. Learn from our panel of industry experts about how AI is being integrated into your favorite design tools to make them more efficient and to enable new functions. Guaranteed, an AI will be your new partner in your next product design. Some generative AI tools have been known to hallucinate. What do you want to know about your AI partner so you can trust it? What is the most effective way of working with the new AI features soon to be released in many design tools?
