Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a groundbreaking technological frontier, offering a wide array of transformative capabilities across various industries, including product management. This talk will provide an introductory exploration of the immense potential of AI and its impact on product management.

We will begin with an overview of the major AI types, including generative AI, machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision. Attendees will gain a foundational understanding of each, their underlying principles, and their unique contributions to product management. By grasping the fundamental concepts, product managers and will understand AI's power to drive innovation, streamline processes, and deliver exceptional products.

Throughout the presentation, the ethical considerations surrounding AI implementation in product management will be emphasized. We will discuss responsible AI usage, including addressing biases, ensuring transparency, and safeguarding user privacy, thereby fostering trust and ethical decision-making.

Real-world examples, case studies, and practical applications of AI in product management will be shared. Attendees will leave equipped with a set of considerations for integrating AI technologies into their organizations. By embracing AI's capabilities, organizations can leverage its power to shape their products, deliver exceptional user experiences, and thrive in an increasingly AI-driven landscape.

Notes for Review Team:
This is a talk format, with opportunity for Q&A. I have been using these newer technologies in my day-to-day coaching, consulting and product management work for over 2 years, and want to bring my experiences and learnings to the agile and product communities.

With all of the hype around AI, people feel as though they are behind the curve, and they feel overwhelmed by the tidal wave of information. They are sorting through what can be useful and meaningful in their contexts, and how they can use these technologies effectively and safely. This session provides that primer for them, demystifying terminology and getting them started on understanding how these technologies can improve the quality of their product management.

The session as outlined below, has been delivered twice before in this timeframe, and once as an hour-long session.

Prior Feedback:
• Well worth the time. I learned much new information about the state if AI and where it is headed.
• Good content, good stories.
Good, high-level overview of the field of AI and how it can interact with product management. The way you presented it was the right level of correct and grokable for the audience that you were speaking to. It's refreshing to hear an AI talk that doesn't exclusively focus on LLMs these days
