Accellera Systems Initiative is an independent, not-for profit organization dedicated to create, support, promote, and advance system-level design, modeling, and verification standards for use by the worldwide electronics industry. We are composed of a broad range of members that fully support the work of our technical committee to develop technology standards that are balanced, open, and benefit the worldwide electronics industry. Leading companies and semiconductor manufacturers around the world are using our electronic design automation (EDA) and intellectual property (IP) standards in a wide range of projects in numerous application areas to develop consumer, mobile, wireless, automotive, and other “smart” electronic devices. Through an ongoing partnership with the IEEE, standards and technical implementations developed by Accellera Systems Initiative are contributed to the IEEE for formal standardization and ongoing governance.

Generative AI: Is it Real or Merely a Hallucination?

Thursday, March 5, 2026 12:30 pm — 1:30 pm

Generative AI is reshaping the landscape of design and verification, but separating genuine breakthroughs from hype remains a challenge. As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly embedded in our daily workflows—from voice assistants to autonomous systems—the question arises: is generative AI delivering real, practical value in chip design verification, or are we chasing illusions? And, with the advent of Large Language Models (LLM) and Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (GPT) models, what are the possibilities in design verification?

This session will examine the current state of generative AI in design and verification. We’ll explore where Synopsys is investing in agentic solutions and what technology is being implemented in production environments by end users, delivering significant productivity boosts and automation. Join us to discover whether generative AI is truly revolutionizing the industry—or if it’s still more hallucination than reality.
