Why Artificial Intelligence Needs Product Sense
Product Leaders who consistently build great products over time are said to have great “product sense.” Product sense is simply the ability to consistently build for value. More than ever, Artificial Intelligence needs product sense. AI won’t figure out what problems to solve. If as product leaders we aren’t aligned with a human need, we’re just going to build a very powerful system to address a very small—or perhaps nonexistent—problem. We have a tremendous opportunity to shape a more humanist and inclusive world in concert with AI, and it starts by remembering our roots: finding and addressing real human needs, upholding human values, and designing for augmentation, not automation.
