AI will prop up Moore’s Law

Cringely prediction

Tech pundit Robert X. Cringely has been consulting his Tarot cards and rattled his crystal balls and reached the conclusion that Generative Artificial Intelligence will keep Moore's Law in force.

Cringely thinks it should be simple to apply AI to chip design, building custom chip design models to iterate into existing simulators and refine new designs that have a good chance of being novel.

He said that chip design was like fixing cars in that a limited amount of Machine Learning data is required (think of logic cells as language words). It’s a small vocabulary has well-developed simulation tools for testing logic before it is built.

China will be the first to use this tech because the US is doing its best to freeze China out of semiconductor development, denying access to advanced manufacturing tools, for example. But China is arguably the world’s #2 country for AI research and can use that advantage to make up some of the difference.
