The recent surge in AI-powered tools and platforms isn’t just changing how developers code; it’s fundamentally reshaping the product management landscape. We’re seeing a real shift where AI is moving from a “nice-to-have” feature to a core component of many product strategies.

However, it also introduces complexities: how do we validate AI-driven features? What new risks emerge? And how do we ensure our teams have the skills to build and manage AI products effectively? The conversation needs to shift from “should we use AI?” to “how do we strategically integrate AI to deliver sustained value?”
