Of the three mentioned, I’m pretty interested in the grid optimization side of things. There is some good research about how new evolutions of AI can improve this-
“Our method shows promise in the field of EDA by illustrating how reinforcement learning can address some of the challenges associated with large-scale circuit optimization. In terms of future applications, our framework could be extended to address multi-objective optimization tasks in circuit design, optimizing power, performance, and area simultaneously. It has the potential to assist in decision-making for various design tasks such as placement, pin assignment, routing, and timing optimization, enhancing the overall design process.“- From the paper, “An efficient leakage power optimization framework based on reinforcement learning with graph neural network”
