Agentic AI — breaking AI into individual agents that can work together and collaboratively — will be the real game changer for AI in chip manufacturing. By taking humans out of the loop, these agents can be programmed using natural language to automatically solve problems and improve efficiency. Jon Herlocker, vice president and general manager of software analytics at Cohu, talks with Semiconductor Engineering about what will be needed to automate AI prompts, where these agents will be used, and how they will likely collaborate. This is the last of a 7-part series on AI in semiconductor manufacturing.
