Just to calm your nerves: place and route algorithms are often classical AI anyway, the things that is changing is what still is and isn't referred to as "AI". The cool thing about this work is that it is looking at higher level parameters about layout instead of the kind of heuristic algorithms you see in APR. Would be cool to see this in tools one day.

But since it only speeds up part of the design process, they can’t build the hardware much faster than before and cycle time is very slow. If you’re going to worry about this at all, you should be a lot more worried about AI-designed software.

When the AI realizes its purpose is to make a better AI.
