AI is set to significantly transform product roles by enhancing the ways individuals work and interact with technology.

Advanced tools like Figma AI enable quicker prototyping, allowing product managers and designers to take on tasks traditionally reserved for engineers. Those who adapt to leveraging AI will gain a competitive edge, working more efficiently and effectively, while resistance to these changes could lead to stagnation.
