Building Your AI Moat: Product Thinking for Responsible AI Solutions

Talk Synopsis

In the race to adopt AI technology, companies are putting the solution before the problem, leading to everything from embarrassing gaffes to declining trust in AI products. Companies need a strategic approach to create lasting competitive advantages—an "AI Moat." This talk will explore how product thinking and product leadership are crucial for developing responsible AI solutions that solve real customer problems and differentiate your offering in a crowded landscape.

Whether you are working in product, design, tech, leadership, or another discipline, product thinking is a powerful approach anyone can—and should—leverage.

Angus will cover three important topics:

- Why product thinking is more important than ever in the AI era

- How responsible AI is a source of competitive advantage

- What you can do to leverage these concepts to build better AI-powered products
