We’ll explore three simple truths: * It’s normal to be afraid of AI * It’s okay to be a beginner again * You only need to be a couple chapters ahead of your team to lead ## Product Takeaways You’ll walk away with concrete ideas for how product, design, and business folks can work with builders to run small AI-powered experiments that ship.
