Product Managers and Domain Experts are Key in AI Development
Product managers and domain experts play a crucial role in AI development as they provide invaluable insights into customer needs and product decisions, which cannot be replaced by AI engineering. Engineering is more about picking the right product direction rather than just good engineering. The last difficult-to-automate task is making sound product decisions. Ideally, AI engineers should embody product thinking along with ML knowledge and engineering skills.
