On December 1, 2023 in the framework of the 2023 edition of the Colloquia Doctoralia of the Ph.D. course in Information Engineering, Prof. Alberto Sangiovanni-Vincentelli (UC Berkeley) will give a plenary lecture on "Machine Learning for CPS and Chip Design: Hype or Reality?" at the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering of the Politecnico di Milano, at 2 p.m.

During the lecture, Prof. Sangiovanni-Vincentelli will discuss his vision for the future based on his personal experience:
“When I graduated from PoliMi in 1971, programs were still being written in assembly on punch cards, and computers barely had the capacity to perform a few hundred thousand operations per second. Integrated circuits had only a few dozen transistors and implemented basic logic. From Milan to Berkeley in 1975: a journey into the unknown of Silicon Valley, armed with goodwill and a lot of fear... Fifty years later... Now we are capable of designing integrated systems with over 20 billion transistors, largely due to the use of algorithms and automatic design systems, developed mostly at Berkeley in the '75-'90s, now optimized and sold worldwide by Cadence and Synopsys. These companies have recently reached a combined valuation of $160 billion on the NASDAQ. These integrated systems and increasingly sophisticated software can support the calculations needed to recognize and use natural language. But is all that shines really gold?”.
