Where AI tools are changing the work of developing a chip, stage by stage and function by function. Each note is marked red for a disruption (work AI is absorbing), blue for an augmentation (work AI assists) or green for an opportunity (new work AI creates), with what it means for practitioners and the pathways to take.
A small lettered marker beside a stage, a discipline, a chart block, a sub-function or a flow step means one of these notes applies there. The letter and the colour carry the same meaning, and each marker opens its note on this page.
An example marker: is read by a screen reader as "AI: augmentation, emerging" followed by the note's short title.
