Nika and Granados establish that traditional Product Management (PM) frameworks break when applied to AI. Because AI features are inherently probabilistic (based on likelihoods) rather than deterministic (if-this-then-that logic), the PM's role evolves from writing static software requirements to designing dynamic data loops, managing user trust, and mitigating algorithmic risks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"22\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"22\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe Authors' Golden Rules for AI Product Management\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"23\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"23,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"23,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eNever Lead with the Technology:\u003c\/b\u003e Do not build an AI feature simply because your executive team wants \"AI\" on the pitch deck.

Your product's true quality is defined by how it handles those failures.
