Special Call for Session Proposals
AI in Test (AIT) Workshop
2026 International Test Conference (ITC)

Dear Colleagues,

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping semiconductor test engineering. Engineers are increasingly adopting AI assistants, agentic coding environments, custom AI agents, MCP-based service architectures, and AI-powered applications to improve engineering productivity and transform traditional workflows.

To provide a dedicated venue for the community to examine these developments, ITC 2026 is launching the inaugural AI in Test (AIT) Workshop, to be held during ITC Test Week on October 15–16, 2026, in San Antonio, Texas.

Unlike a traditional technical conference, AIT is organized around community-led workshop sessions rather than individual paper presentations. We invite the community to propose and organize 60–90 minute sessions that examine how AI may transform important areas of semiconductor test.

What We Are Looking For

Each accepted proposal will organize a focused session that brings together experts to discuss a major application area, assess the current state of AI technology, share practical experiences, and identify opportunities and challenges for industrial adoption.

Example Session Areas

• Test-program generation, maintenance, and evolution
• Test-data analytics, yield learning, debug, and reporting
• Test infrastructure, MCP services, and AI-ready workflow platforms
• Manufacturing operations and productivity improvement
• DFT, validation, diagnosis, reliability, and failure analysis
• Documentation, knowledge management, and engineering workflows
• AI agents, copilots, app-based agents, and skill ecosystems

A Different Kind of Workshop

The objective of AIT is not to predict the future or advocate a single AI solution. Instead, the workshop seeks to help the community identify the right questions to ask, appropriate evaluation criteria, and the key technical, organizational, and workforce issues that must be considered as AI becomes part of semiconductor test engineering. Session organizers are encouraged to present evidence, experience, competing viewpoints, and open challenges.

Submission

Please submit a 1–2 page session proposal describing the session topic, motivation, format, expected speakers (if known), and expected takeaways.

Submission Deadline: July 24, 2026
