Purdue University has launched the Institute of Chips and AI, an initiative focused on advancing semiconductor and artificial intelligence (AI) research.
Directed by Kaushik Roy and co-directed by Anand Raghunathan, both alumni of the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur, the institute is poised to revolutionize the integration of AI and semiconductor technologies.
Inaugurated last month in Mountain View, California, the institute seeks to tackle the growing complexities of modern computing by using AI to optimize chip design and developing advanced semiconductor technologies for next-generation AI systems.
“The AI revolution began in 2012, fueled by advances in hardware, algorithms, and data,” said Roy. “Today, as model sizes grow exponentially, energy demands are reaching critical limits. The synergy of AI-driven chip design and chips optimized for AI promises transformative leaps in cognitive computing.”
“This initiative reflects Purdue’s commitment to making Indiana the Silicon Heartland,” said Arvind Raman, the John A. Edwardson Dean of the College of Engineering and an IIT Delhi alumnus. “The Institute of Chips and AI joins a host of Purdue initiatives that position us as a global leader in physical AI and semiconductor development.”
The launch aligns with Purdue’s 150th anniversary and underscores the university’s commitment to advancing semiconductor and AI innovation. The event drew leaders from academia, industry, and government, reinforcing the institute’s collaborative approach.
