Finetuning Your Career: AI Product Leadership
Catch me speak at ADPList.org's BeMore Festival 2024
It may strike you as ironic, dear reader, that it took me 13 months to write another post after satirizing the alleged “sudden demise of product management” and return with, above all things, a story about AI. But the truth is that I got myself so knee-deep into the world of AI that I ended up building autonomous AI agents at Zendesk.
My day job makes me think a lot about how to be a product leader in AI and live in a world developing AI. About the people building AI, the people building with AI, the people who lead the people who build.
The sector moves fast. The range of models and services is unprecedented. Everyone is moving fast. Everything is moving faster. It’s a constant game of excited catch-up.
It’s demanding.
It can be taxing.
It’s thrilling.
It’s humbling as it surrounds you with some of the most brilliant and fascinating people you’ve ever met.
This inevitably causes product managers working in and with AI to adapt. And so do their product leaders.
What is unique about product leadership in AI and shipping AI-powered products? How is being a product leader different when you're shipping AI products? How do you train AI PMs? And how does AI research fit into the picture?
I’ll be talking about this on Thursday, Sep 19, 2024 at 1pm CEST / 4am PST.
