AI-assisted circuit board design is reshaping the schematic and layout creation process by recommending optimal part placement and routing topologies. It predicts signal integrity, power integrity, and manufacturability risks in real-time without waiting for the traditional DRC flags or simulation. At the same time, circuit boards built for AI-driven systems call for 16+ layer, high-density, high-speed boards built with advanced materials to support massive parallel computation. This article covers two aspects: how artificial intelligence is transforming PCB design workflow and the PCB technologies required to power the next-gen AI hardware. Highlights: Artificial intelligence–driven solvers offer in-design signal, thermal, and power…
