Could AI-Powered Silicon Remastering Be A Solution To The Chip Shortage?

From the Beatles Let It Be to John Coltrane's A Love Supreme and Radiohead's OK Computer, record labels often remaster classic albums from the greats in many genres of music. These higher fidelity remasters are a welcome treat for aficionados and mainstream fans alike. But what if I told you, just like Led Zeppelin's or Van Halen's greatest hits, semiconductor chips could be "remastered" as well, and these remasters could help bail us out of the current chip shortage? For some folks that would totally rock, pun intended, but let's take a step back and look at the problem and potential solutions at hand first. The process of designing and verifying chips like the modern processors, controllers and sensors in cars, for example, can take years and require millions of dollars of R&D.
