Becoming an AI PM | Aman Khan (Arize AI, ex-Spotify, Apple, Cruise)

[@АртемТкачев-э8и]

Thank you for your videos, guests, advices!!! You are doing something really valuable!

[@siddhantsingh3411]

The future is going to look very different. Senior PMs in IC roles will just end up starting their own small company. What do you think? Instead of 10 trillion dollar company, it can now be thousands of billion dollar companies.

Super Cool Insights! Hope AI goes in much more vulnerable directions than just mundane chatbot experience on every other website, liked a lot of anecdotes and open conversations of what's to come for AI PMs in general! Thanks for sharing 💙👍👍

[@jaskaranvirdi6622]

Insightful! The counter to Aman's point is that there is no need for PMs any more. If using AI tools and talking to people is the only thing that a PM is expected to do, well that is something that an engineering manager can also do and probably do it better because the EM also knows when the AI is wrong. PMs don't know when the AI tool is wrong because they have limited technical knowledge. The truth is that building great technical products and scaling them is an engineering challenge and not just a product challenge. I think these AI tools are amazing for EMs and companies. We are already seeing tech getting impacted by these AI tools and there is a growing sentiment that the PMs need to be cut first as the value they provide is not commensurate to the salaries that they draw. Bottom line is that more EMs are going to go into the Product Management track.

Hey Lenny! Would love to hear from product leaders who don't come from a technical background :)

[@LennysPodcast]

Noted

@@LennysPodcast mainly those from product analytics, for example, pls

[@LennysPodcast]

any specific people or dream companies come to mind?

@@LennysPodcast i dont know if it is for me. But I would love to work on health companies. Sword health for example....

[@neeleshsalian1912]

It’s not an AI Pm, it’s a PM leveraging AI

[@AP1919]

Hi Lenny, Are there scholarships from Lenny's List on Maven?😅🙏

“My parents did not optimize my name for SEO…my kids will have unique names…we’ll iterate on that in the next one” Hilarious. Quote of the podcast 😂

[@vkuse0]

hey lenny, would it suit ur podcast to bring indie-hackers or 1-person-company founder's onboard?

[@LennysPodcast]

absolutely. Any dream guests along these lines?

[@VaibhavSharma-ev5nn]

websim!

What does it mean IC?

[@laurasmyth7302]

Individual contributor. I think some of these acronyms are overused and it's expected everyone knows what they mean!

@laurasmyth7302 agree. Being a PM or ICPM, isnt the same? 🤔

[@tonyphan2503]

You're in a podcast that literally cannot be anymore niche, it is expected to know lol, people be finding anything to complain

[@laurasmyth7302]

@taylornguyen2503 my comment was about the general use of acronyms like this. I see it peppered into conversations and speak in many places not just this podcast. It's nice to create some space for folks who are not fluent in the lingo 😊 we all started somewhere

[@laurasmyth7302]

In my experience I think this depends on what companies call the role. ICPM and PM can be interchangeable terms. Also its possible that an IC PM is hands on doing the work while there are PM roles which means you lead a team of PMs and you are less hands on. But like I said I think this depends on your context.

[@violentfox]

sorry fellas, but that place is already taken. It will be developers who will have to become AI PMs or be squeezed out of the profession. There won’t be much room for traditional PM to fill.

[@amjads8971]

I will be more than happy if AI will replace this job as most PM does nothing and same for security analysts

[@pontefract]

This comment means either you don’t understand a PM’s job at all, or you have unfortunately never worked with a good PM.

[@nk1645]

There is a difference between a project manager in outsourcing that attends one meeting a day and does nothing else and a product manager responsible for the product's success.

He talked for 18 minutes and said nothing. Wtf
