Opera manager today will essentially become an AI program manager in the coming few years. Over 70% of companies today had admit that they have been using AI into daily operations and more

than half of the VC funding last quarter went to AI startup. Obviously AI is a future. However, most product management

I started my AI product management career over 10 years ago and I launched the very first AI smart cities product that received the mayor's best practice award and our team were invited to

present our product at NVIDIA GCP conference. Now I'm going to tell you my

conference. Now I'm going to tell you my personal experience in real life how to build AI product and what kind of roles and responsibility does AI product manager do. Now let's get started. First

manager do. Now let's get started. First

of all, what is an AI product manager?

It's very simple. An AI product manager oversees the development and implementation of artificial intelligent product. And AI program manager is

product. And AI program manager is mainly working on three things. Is a

perfect combination between business, data and technology. Now how is different from traditional per management is actually quite simple one word data as AI per manager we need to

go above beyond than traditional per manager is doing for example as AIPM we need to evaluate what kind of application is suitable for AI how to better the model quality and do you

build your model inhouse or you leverage existing large language model on the market right now we also need to validate AI hypothesis and design the data pipeline with engineering ing team

and then we are going to use the traditional product management methodology which is conduct with customer interviews building MVP with engineering team and design the go to

market strategy of our product at the same time AI product manager is also responsible for the scalability of the AI product as we all know AI has hallucination so there's a data drifting

concept shift lots of different things are happening so we need to manage the entire end to end experience of an AI I product. I made a separate video talk

product. I made a separate video talk about the five unknown differences between traditional product manager versus AI product manager. Make sure to check out this video right here. I'm

also going to link in the description of the show note. What does an AI product manager actually do dayto-day? Now, let

me lay out the daily roles of responsibility for an AI product manager. Number one, if you take a look

manager. Number one, if you take a look at all those AI product manager job responsibilities out there, you can find out there's a trend out there. All AI

product measures are responsible for creating the product strategy and the vision of developing and deploying AI product. The AI plus strategy is quite

product. The AI plus strategy is quite different than traditional product management strategy because in addition to pro strategy we need to understand the fast evolving space of AI and how to

outbeat the competition especially lots of technologist data are two weeks ago now there's a new model out there we need to be very fast in terms adjusting to the changing landscape and have a

long-term strategic vision for the AI initiatives second is manage the end to AI product management cycle end to end So as I mentioned earlier then AI part

measure starting with the entire AI hypothesis validating those model understand what kind of scenario is we must use AI or AI is just good to have.

So all those are part of initial phase of AI hypothesis and then they go to MEP phase eventually go to product launch phase. Now the third key

phase. Now the third key responsibilities for AI per measure is measure model product performance and making datadriven decision and sometimes

you build your model inhouse with a team of data scientists and sometimes you directly use the existing large language model by working with the AI engineers.

Number four AI manager needs to learn how to lead cross functional team including data scientists, AI engineers, AI designers and the legal compliance departments as well. Number five, which

define problem statements suitable for AI. There are three types of AI product.

AI. There are three types of AI product.

The product cannot function without AI such as self-driving car. You can create brand new experience leveraging AI such as AI chatbot or add on additional feature powered by AI to existing

product such as tax prediction for Gmail. When you validate what situation

Gmail. When you validate what situation you need to use AI, you must use AI hypothesis framework I've invented. I

have a deep dive 30 minutes free talk teaching you how to use AI hypothesis to validate different AI ideas on why 70% of today's AI product fail and how to

fix it. You should go to this website

fix it. You should go to this website and start to uh check out this free training. I'm also going to link in the

features on the Roma managing your backlogs and defining MVP and AI product manager also need to define the go-to market strategy of your AI product because at the end of the day if nobody

right away. There's also free lecture by Andrew Wan about agendic workflow and how is a game changer for the entire AI era. I discovered 10 other free

era. I discovered 10 other free resources. I'm also going to the link in

resources. I'm also going to the link in the description of this video so you can watch all of these for free. After

learning all those free content, you should start to build your AI product portfolios to demonstrate your skill set and knowledge about AI. And third, I

highly gain hands-on experience using AI and building real world AI product with a team of developers and data scientists. This is the best way for you

scientists. This is the best way for you to really stand out in the competitive job market today. If you're interested getting matched with a team of AI developers to build real life AI product

with coachings and starting your own AI startup, you can check out our AIPM boot camp. I'm going to link in the

camp. I'm going to link in the description so that you can learn more.

Number four, you should get started with creating a clear AI primure resume to help you land your first AIPM interview.

You can download the free AIPM ré template with guaranteed interview opportunities after you implement the entire keywords on those template. Feel

free to go to this website and download those template for free today. Within AI

program management, their traditional ML AI, ML manager, there's also Gen AIPM.
