Keynote: Information Revolution, Chips, and Openness
summary
Argues that the microchip is the fundamental enabler of the Information Age and that openness as non-negotiable unlocks semiconductor projects for IoT, AI, 5G and cloud workloads; shows a concrete 2x2 hardware roadmap — classical vs quantum and digital vs analog — highlighting mixed‑signal designs and quantum paths as where engineers must invest; claims hardware again matters because of power and performance limits, and promotes aligned diversity as the cultural model that scales open ecosystems.
