From Product Manager to AI Product Manager - Making the Transition
Why focus on AI product management ?
AI or traditional(??) Machine Learning has been driving business impact for a while (decades now). Search, recommendations, Ads, fraud detection and many such areas are heavily driven by ML algorithms
AI is bound to have a large impact on business productivity going forward. There is some hype, but there is surely some real gains after the hype settles.
There will be a lot of effort by businesses to extract productivity gains out of AI and this will open door for more innovations.
An AI Product Manager could be working for:
a tech company building foundational models and serving API-s (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Microsoft)
a tech company building tools and applications that will be heavily influenced by AI eg. — Adobe, Google, Microsoft, Netflix; startups, etc.
businesses that want to extract benefits from this new technology
consulting companies that help business through the transformation (the role here might be ‘consultant’ instead of ‘PM’)
