Today's guest is Alain-Sam Cohen, Head of Product at InstaDeep—an AI firm using reinforcement learning and other advanced techniques to solve complex design and optimization problems across industries. It may not make headlines like generative AI, but for manufacturers and engineers, PCB design remains one of the most time-intensive steps in building physical systems. From strict physical constraints to millions of potential component arrangements, even expert teams face persistent bottlenecks. Alain-Sam breaks down how InstaDeep's AI-driven approach is changing that reality—using reinforcement learning to accelerate and enhance circuit board layout in ways rules-based systems can't match.
