What you'll learn

Why AI breaks shallow framework answers

You’ll learn how AI-style questions expose weak thinking and why frameworks fail without real judgment.

What blue-sky questions actually test

You’ll learn how open-ended questions test depth of reasoning, not creativity or novelty.

Capabilities vs pain points in AI interviews

You’ll learn how to navigate AI-first questions that start with tech but must end with user value.

Mapping AI ideas to human needs

You’ll practice grounding AI solutions in core human emotions like trust, control, and motivation.

Why this topic matters

AI hasn’t changed product sense—but it has removed places to hide. In 2026, shallow frameworks and surface-level answers collapse fast. PMs who can reason deeply, connect AI capabilities to real human needs, and defend decisions under ambiguity stand out. This session helps you build that judgment and stay interview-relevant as AI reshapes product roles.
