Large-language models (LLMs) attracted tremendous attention rece ntly\, and demonstrated their potential for generating text\, images\, vid eos\, software programs\, and other contents. However\, LLMs significantly increase the model parameters size in neural network\, and require huge c omputation for AI model training and inference. For example\, The number o f parameters of the neural network has grown from 60 million in Alexnet(20 12) to 175 billion in OpenAI GPT-3 (2020). Within seven years\, the number of parameters has increased by 2917 times \, and the computing requiremen ts for training neural networks have increased by 300\,000 times. The AI d evelopment impacts the IC industry\, because the increasing speed of compu tation requirement far exceeds the growth rate of Moore's Law of semicondu ctors.\n\nThis forum will discuss the current IC design challenge in AI er a. It’s more difficult to continuously shrink the semiconductor process to meet the target on performance\, power\, area\, and cost. Huge computin g requirement led to high performance\, bandwidth\, and energy efficiency. Complex IC design also increase the design cost and the demand on highly skilled talents.\n\nOn the other hand\, AI can enable new functions in IC products\, while AI also has potential to be crucial tools to increase the efficiency for IC industry\, such as EDA\, floor planning\, verification\ , circuit optimization\, code generation\, etc. It opens new opportunities to revolutionize the IC industry. The forum will also discuss how to leve rage AI to improve IC industry.\n\nIn particular\, the forum will benefit graduate students and young professors\, because they can learn about thes e technical issues through knowledge sharing from experienced experts from industry\, academia\, and research. This will help young students/profess ors explore their future career and research paths.\n\nPlanned Format of t he Forum\n\nThis forum will be a half-day conference to include keynote\, technical talk and panel discussion. It will bring experts together from l eading industry companies\, such as TSMC and MediaTek\, important research institutes\, such as ITRI and TSRI\, and top universities\, such as Natio nal Taiwan University\, National Tsing Hua University and National Yang Mi ng Chiao Tung University. This forum will focus on IC design challenge in AI era\, and open opportunities for technical discussion\, knowledge shari ng\, networking and collaboration. The Forum welcome anyone with an intere st in this field\, including designers\, researchers\, and engineers from industry\, research institute and academia. Especially\, we encourage grad uate students and young professors to participate this.\n\nIt is a hybrid event. The participants are welcomed to attend this event in physical\, an d video conference casting also provided for registered persons who cannot attend in physical.\n\nTo encourage more participants to attend the forum in physical\, this event will be co-located with Taiwan Innotech Expo (TI E)\, which is a huge expo which attracts attendees from IC industries and academics. Last year\, TIE 2022 has attracted 18\,917 domestic and interna tional visitors. The organizing committee expects co-location with Taiwan Innotech Expo will encourage participants to attend this industrial forum in\n\nBesides\, we package three activities: (1) IEEE CASIF Taipei (2) RIS C-V Taipei Day (3) YSF Forum (Youth in Semiconductor Technology Forum) in a series with one theme: “IC Tech in the AI Era” and promote three act ivities together.
