AI Fellowship NYC Launch | How Product Leaders Think in the Age of AI
Panel Discussion: From Prototype to Proof
AI makes it easier than ever to turn an idea into a working prototype. But how do you know whether you're building something people actually need?
Join us at New York University on October 28 as we launch the NYC Chapter of The AI Fellowship, a global community of 3,000+ members across 80+ countries in partnership with Asian Women Advancing AI
We're kicking things off with a candid conversation featuring three experienced product leaders who have built, scaled, and invested in technology and AI products.
We'll explore how product leaders make decisions, challenge assumptions, learn from failures, and figure out what to build next. We'll also discuss how AI is changing product management and which skills matter more than ever.
What we'll talk about:
From prototype to product: How do you decide what's worth building?
AI and the PM role: What changes when AI can do more of the work?
Understanding your users: How do you distinguish real customer needs from enthusiasm for technology?
From ideas to evidence: How do you know when something is actually working?
Expect real-world perspectives, candid discussion, and practical ideas you can take back to your own projects.
