Empathy in Product Management
Developing empathy for users is a crucial skill for product managers (PMs) working on AI systems. By focusing on understanding user needs, PMs are encouraged to articulate user experiences clearly in written form. This process often involves modeling human behavior, which can be subjective and non-deterministic, making it challenging to predict outcomes. As a result, the iterative nature of AI development emphasizes the importance of fine-tuning product iterations based on user feedback and data analysis.
