AI in Power Integrity Design

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is buzzword of the day, with wild predictions about the replacement of engineers for writing code, testing, and performing actual designs based on constraints. The growth is highly accelerated by the money being poured into building the technology. Goldman Sachs says that it is expected that the global investment in AI could exceed $10 T over the next decade. (Thanks, AI for finding this reference for me!) The Stargate AI initiative alone is expected to be funded at $500 B over the next four years. (Thanks again, AI). That’s quite a lot of money, which provides a clear reason that everyone in the engineering world is so highly focused. 

AI is still in its infancy, but in this blog, I will address how well AI supports very simple requests for engineering design support in power integrity and signal integrity applications. I will perform several targeted experiments, summarizing what I found AI did well and where it was lacking. I will also discuss my own opinion on whether it is a revolutionary tool or an overhyped buzzword.
