<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0px 0px 12px"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica Neue";font-size:15px;color:rgb(27,27,27)">I wanted to ask whether AI is currently being implemented in your cleanroom operations such as recipe optimization, automated
process control, predictive maintenance, or environmental/defect monitoring. Across the industry, AI is increasingly used to improve yield, optimize recipes, predict tool failures, and provide real-time decision support, with emerging ideas like self-learning
recipes, digital twins, and AI copilots for operators.</span></p>
<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0px 0px 12px"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica Neue";font-size:15px;color:rgb(27,27,27)">I’d love to hear your thoughts on what you already have in place, where you see opportunities, and whether it makes sense
to brainstorm potential AI use cases.</span></p>
