Open-Source EDA Birds-of-a-Feather: Open-Source EDA, Data and Collaboration Summit
This “Open-Source EDA, Data and Collaboration” Birds-of-a-Feather session is the seventh in a series that began at DAC 2018. As semiconductor design confronts the mounting complexities of advanced nodes, Augmented AI is transitioning from an experimental concept to an indispensable engineering co-pilot. The DAC 2026 session explores the transformative intersection of AI, open-source software and hardware, and the engineers who build them, serving as an informal forum for anyone to share ideas and the latest updates on our open-source ecosystem.

Beyond the Individual: Understanding the Evolution of Collective Intelligence
This chapter outlines the evolution of collective intelligence, starting from its ancient roots and concluding with modern digital platforms. It discusses intelligence theories, project examples, and the impact of technology on collaborative efforts. Key focuses include the role of the internet and online communities in boosting our collective IQ, with a particular emphasis on Douglas Engelbart's contributions and the open-source movement, as exemplified by Linux's development. The chapter examines how digital transformation has facilitated new forms of community and knowledge sharing, significantly influencing fields such as management, decision-making, and organizational learning. Various scholars and their definitions of CI are discussed, including Pierre Lévy's vision of universally distributed intelligence and the concept of swarm intelligence in biological sciences. We then move on to practically implemented CI projects, exploring crowdsourcing as a manifestation of CI in business and social projects and examining possibilities of harnessing the wisdom of crowds for problem-solving and innovation. The chapter concludes with a presentation of the current state of collective intelligence academic research.
