@David Burnett
Returns from DARPA ERI 2.0 Summit https://eri-summit.darpa.mil/2023-agenda
Lots of interesting conversations; some DARPA folks even said “Let me think about this and talk to some people” re chip-scale wireless sensors
Overall microelectronics focus on heterogeneous integration and AI
AI assisted chip design tools
Bill Daly (Nvidia) talk especially good
All talks will be online in a few weeks
Workshop on workforce development
Goal was to find a technology to fund that would also facilitate increased training in semiconductor areas
~25 attendees including speakers, heavy Berkeley influence
Speakers and audience repeatedly emphasized need for long-term and diverse training investment; not really in DARPA’s scope
