The Impact of AI on Product Management
Event Agenda:
- 5.30 - 6.00pm: In-person networking
- 6.00 - 7.00pm: Hybrid program (all speakers in-person)
- 7.00 - 8.00pm: In-person networking
In conjunctions with Product Leaders - Toronto we are assembling a panel of Product Leaders and Practitioners who will discuss how AI is (and possibly will) impact the work that we do in Product.
There's no doubt that AI will impact the product we build, but HOW we do our jobs: discovery, analysis, planning, strategy, operations, growth, communications etc. will all likely be impacted in the coming years by new developments in AI.
Generative AI (ChatGPT, Bard, Midjourney, Dall-E to name some) will play a major part in this impact, but so will other forms of AI and other tools. These are just the early days and it's important for us as Product Leaders and Practitioners to understand the technology, it's potential impact and how we can leverage it to improve in the work that we do and benefit from it.
We are looking forward to a lively interactive discussion on the topic: add your questions here.
