'Beyond human intuition': AI designs chip components 500 times smaller than what engineers could ever imagine Researchers at Princeton University and the Indian Institute of Technology have used artificial intelligence to design chip components 500 times smaller than what engineers could create, according to a study published in Nature Communications. The AI-generated designs, which are not constrained by human intuition, could lead to more efficient and powerful electronics.
