WEBINAR: Is Agentic AI the Future of EDA?

The semiconductor industry is entering a transformative era, and few trends are generating more discussion or confusion than Agentic AI. From autonomous design exploration to next-generation verification strategies, Agentic AI promises dramatic changes in how chips are conceived, validated, and delivered. But as with any major technology shift, key questions remain: What is real today? What still belongs in the “future potential” category? And what infrastructure foundations are needed to make Agentic AI practical, scalable, and secure inside modern design environments?

SemiWiki invites you to join us on Thursday, December 4, 2025 at 10:00 AM PST for a thought-leadership webinar that tackles these questions head-on: “Is Agentic AI the Future for EDA — and What Does It Mean for EDA Infrastructure?” This 60-minute session brings together top experts from Cadence, NetApp, and AMD to explore how Agentic AI is reshaping the EDA landscape and what engineering teams need to prepare for next.

We start with a brief introduction from SemiWiki founder Daniel Nenni, followed by a feature keynote from Mahesh Turaga, VP of Cadence Cloud. Mahesh will dive into the current state of Agentic AI in EDA, separating industry insights from inflated expectations. He’ll also share how Cadence is integrating AI-driven capabilities into its product stack, and what adoption challenges design teams should anticipate as they scale AI across real-world workflows.

The latter half of the event features a dynamic panel discussion with leaders who sit at the crossroads of EDA tools, infrastructure, and advanced chip methodologies:

• Rob Knoth, Sr Group Director of Strategy & New Ventures, Cadence

• Janhavi Giri, NetApp EDA Industry Vertical Lead (formerly Intel)

• Khaled Heloue, Ph.D., Fellow at AMD specializing in CAD, methodology, and AI

• Moderator: Daniel Nenni, SemiWiki

Each panelist brings a unique perspective—from tool strategy and data architecture to design enablement and compute optimization. Together, they will unpack how Agentic AI may reshape engineering roles, design workflows, compute demands, storage architectures, and the relationship between EDA vendors and internal methodology teams. Expect a grounded, technical discussion aimed at practitioners—not marketing gloss.

This webinar is ideal for semiconductor design engineers, EDA and CAD methodology engineers, HPC/EDA infrastructure architects, and IT strategists supporting compute-intensive design environments. Whether you’re exploring early AI integration or actively deploying AI-driven automation, you’ll gain valuable clarity on where the industry is heading.

Key takeaways include:

• How Agentic AI is redefining next-generation design flows and tool capabilities

• What infrastructure changes—compute, storage, orchestration, data management—are necessary to support AI-driven EDA

• Adoption challenges and real-world insights from top EDA and infrastructure leaders

• Practical guidance for preparing your organization for the shift toward autonomous, AI-augmented design

Agentic AI is a catalyst for the next major evolution in design automation. Join us on December 4th to understand what that means for your tools, your infrastructure, and your engineering roadmap.

Register today and be part of the conversation shaping the future of EDA.
