There doesn't exist a single FPGA that can fit an entire AI ASIC. You would need dozens stitched together, then comes the issue of clock speeds, FPGAs typically run far below reference. There also memory issues with FPGAs.

Companies typically combined multiple platforms together such as HAPs, Zebu, Palladium, fleets of FPGAs, and Virtual Platforms in order to design and verify ASICS. So, AI would need access to tens of millions of dollars of HW and Software in order to build and verify a chip design.
