PHYSICS, MACHINES AND DATA

First in a seven-part series: What’s the difference between AI, ML, DL, LLMs, and agentic AI?

Jon Herlocker, VP & General Manager of Tignis, A Cohu Analytics Solution, talks with Semiconductor Engineering about the evolution of AI over nearly 70 years, the chain of innovation that has enabled things like ChatGPT and agentic AI, and how it applies to semiconductor manufacturing today and in the future.
