Generative AI

"Artificial intelligence is one of the most profound things we're working on as humanity. It is more profound than fire or electricity"

Sundar Pichai

Generative AI is an exciting development in the field of Artificial Intelligence. It involves the application of machine learning techniques to create new content that is similar to the data it was trained on. This technology has the potential to transform many areas of our lives and has already opened up new possibilities for embedded system development. The OpenAI Codex project which was one of the catalysts for AI hardware development launched in 2021. It created an AI system that translates natural language to code in multiple different programming languages including Python, C, C++ and more.

Generative AI is already changing the way companies approach hardware development. The most innovative companies are embracing this technology to reduce costs, speed up the development process, and create cutting-edge products at lightning fast speed. For instance, it is being used by Collimator customers to generate synthetic data for testing, optimize control system design and performance, and even design and prototype new hardware systems.

Why is AI code generation important for embedded systems?

AI generated code, a subset of Generative AI, is a powerful technology that can revolutionize embedded system development. It involves the use of machine learning algorithms to generate code automatically, reducing the time and effort required for manual coding. There are several reasons why AI code generation is being adopted rapidly for embedded systems development, including:

  • Increased Efficiency: AI code generation can significantly increase the efficiency of the development process, allowing hardware engineers to focus on higher-level tasks. For example, instead of manually coding low-level functions, AI code generation can automate the process, allowing engineers to concentrate on more complex and critical areas of the system. This can reduce the time to market and give companies a competitive advantage
  • Improved Quality: AI code generation can help improve the quality of code produced. It can catch errors and improve performance by generating optimized code, thereby reducing the likelihood of bugs and other issues. This can lead to more reliable and higher-quality systems, which are essential for safety-critical embedded systems such as automotive and aerospace systems
