The AI-hype started a few years ago, with advances in object recognition. Soon the EDA research community made proposals on applying AI in EDA and all major players announced new AI-based tools at DAC 2018. Unfortunately, few new AI-based EDA-tools made it to productive use today. This talk analyses general challenges of AI in EDA, outlines promising use cases, and motivates more AI research in EDA: More HI (=Human Intelligence) is needed to make AI successful in EDA.
