## Summary

Carrie Robertson, Vice President of Product Management at Siemens EDA, explains how the company integrates AI into its Calibre design verification suite. She distinguishes between the deterministic algorithms used for sign-off quality and the AI techniques used to accelerate productivity, such as error organization and debugging. Robertson highlights Calibre Vision AI, which helped a GPU manufacturer reduce verification time by 50% by clustering millions of errors into manageable signals. The discussion also covers the strategic importance of a private data lake for IP security and the future roadmap of automatic error fixing.
