Stop Shipping Robots. Start Shipping AI That Connects.
Let’s face it — most AI today feels like it was built by a spreadsheet and raised by a KPI. It predicts it personalizes... but it sure doesn’t get people. In this session, we’ll dive into human-centered AI — the art of building intelligent systems that don’t just crunch data but actually resonate with real users. Studies show that AI products designed with human input see 3x higher adoption, because (surprise!) users like feeling understood. We'll explore trust-friendly UX, avoiding creepy AI moments, and how to make sure your next launch doesn’t feel like it was coded in a lab with zero social skills. If you're ready to build AI that connects instead of confuses, this one's for you.
Hype Detox: A Product Manager’s Guide to Value-First AI
Gartner reports that 70-85% of AI projects fail, not because the models are broken — but because the value strategy is. In the rush to “AI everything,” many PM's fall into the trap of buzzword bingo, shipping flashy features with zero user value generation. This session is a no-BS crash course for product managers who want to lead AI adoption with clarity, purpose, and measurable outcomes. We’ll unpack why most AI initiatives die on the whiteboard, how to avoid AI theater, and how to spot real opportunities where AI can unlock user and business value. Walk away with not just another framework but,use cases, and strategic principles which are proven to cut through the noise and build AI that matters — not just AI that trends (for a week maybe!)
