Synopsys CEO says fully autonomous AI chip design remains out of reach
What happened
Synopsys CEO Sassine Ghazi said during the CEO Summit at SEMICON West 2026 that fully autonomous chip development has not yet crossed the final hurdle to become reality, although the company has advanced from AI-assisted engineering to models that coordinate more than 40 task agents. He added that AI-era chip development requires co-optimization across physics, materials, processes, architectures, software, and models.
