What you'll learn

The three failure patterns technical teams miss

Learn how models: Invent structure when inputs are messy Collapse under ambiguity Appear “smart” while eroding trust

Common answers that signal weak AI product sense

Identify patterns that sound smart but reveal outdated, deterministic product thinking.

How to signal learning strategy, not false certainty

Show how strong AI PMs emphasize discovery, guardrails, and iteration instead of confident guesses.

Why strong engineers still fail AI product judgment

Understand why optimizing architecture, benchmarks, or model selection is not the same as demonstrating AI product sense

What strong AI product sense sounds like in practice

Hear examples of answers that clearly signal AI-native judgment and probabilistic thinking.
