As design and manufacturing workflows become increasingly AI-enabled, a new constraint is emerging: trust. In this episode, Dr. Jim Shiely builds on themes from his Patterning the Singularity leadership work to explore the semiconductor industry’s “trust bottleneck” and why trustworthy engineering intelligence is becoming essential to future innovation. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/ee-times-current-709434/episodes/trust-at-scale-the-next-challenge-for-ai-driven-semiconductor-development/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/ee-times-current-709434/trust-at-scale-the-next-challenge-for-ai-driven-semiconductor-development.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
