[Asia Economy Reporter Yujin Cho] Google announced in a paper published in the international journal Nature that it has developed software in which AI designs the chips used in next-generation artificial intelligence (AI).

According to CNBC and others on the 10th (local time), Google stated that AI successfully performed part of the design work for the next-generation AI chip, the Tensor Processing Unit (TPU).

Using this software, tasks that would take humans several months can be completed in less than six hours.

Azalia Mirhoseini, Google's head of machine learning and co-author of the paper, explained, "Our method was used to produce the next-generation Google TPU chip."

The TPU successfully designed by AI this time is a semiconductor chip used for AI data analysis and deep learning.

Google experts emphasized in the paper, "This groundbreaking achievement could have significant implications for the semiconductor industry."

In this regard, Nature evaluated, "It will greatly help increase the speed of supply chains."
