play01:21

totally disagree because my very first

play01:23

fundam managed job was AI product

play01:25

manager I was working on Smart cities

play01:28

and using machine visions and AI to help

play01:31

cities reduce car crashes at the time AI

play01:34

wasn't even that hot that popular

play01:36

there's no chance BT but we're still

play01:39

able to make significant impact to

play01:41

cities so I believe this amazing career

play01:43

everybody should continue to pursue not

play01:45

just myself and I have other students

play01:47

for example on my student Russia and he

play01:50

came from no part management experience

play01:52

and then he broke into product

play01:54

management through our training inside

play01:56

the PMX server and then he became a

play01:58

senior AI product manager so I believe

play02:01

you guys can do it as well like five

play02:03

years ago when I broke into AI Prime

play02:05

management the biggest challenge I had

play02:07

was that there is no step-by-step

play02:10

guidance to tell me exactly how I can do

play02:13

it so basically try to figure things out

play02:15

on my own but I'm lucky now so much

play02:18

resources out there so that I make this

play02:20

video to make it extremely easy and

play02:22

achievable for all of you guys now

play02:24

follow the four steps just pick the one

play02:27

most suitable for you now let's

play02:29

understand the four ways to become a

play02:31

product manager the first way which is

play02:33

for people who have no experience at all

play02:36

no work experience fresh graduate

play02:38

currently in school and there is a great

play02:40

chance you can become a Premiere even if

play02:43

you're currently in school for students

play02:45

who are currently in school with no

play02:47

experience at all you should focus on

play02:49

unsuitable AI problem manage your

play02:51

position and where in school you should

play02:52

study the following Majors that's highly

play02:54

favored by AI teams for example data

play02:57

science math computer science Majors or

play03:00

underground majors and companies really

play03:03

like if you study master's program I

play03:05

suggest you to study artificial

play03:07

intelligence master's program and all

play03:10

those laid out the foundation of AI

play03:14

except these Majors you should also take

play03:16

different kind of product management

play03:17

courses either offered by your school

play03:19

should take it for sure if they're not

play03:21

offered by school you should seek

play03:23

outside of your school to find any

play03:24

product management courses that will

play03:26

teach you Hands-On end-to-end product

play03:28

management life cycle skills so that

play03:30

you're able to turn your course project

play03:32

into a part of portfolio and demonstrate

play03:35

your related experience in product

play03:37

management and your knowledge about AI

play03:40

there are five different tools you

play03:41

should use to build your product

play03:43

portfolio and should definitely check

play03:44

out this video we'll describe all the

play03:46

five tools with detailed examples after

play03:48

you have the AI knowledge and product

play03:50

already you should definitely continue

play03:52

to apply for jobs and Pitch yourself to

play03:55

the hiring manager to demonstrate your

play03:57

AI related experience I'm also going to

play03:59

link the video in the description of

play04:01

this video the second one for people to

play04:03

become an AI Prime manager are people

play04:05

who are currently non-ai product

play04:07

managers which means you could be data

play04:09

product manager iot product manager

play04:11

Cloud product managers but you want to

play04:13

transition into AI space becoming an AI

play04:16

Prime manager for this group of people

play04:18

there is a shortcut for you to make it

play04:20

happen the advantage is that you already

play04:22

have our management skills and knowledge

play04:25

now you just need to learn all the AI

play04:27

foundations according to the VP of

play04:29

product of Google Rob lesson he

play04:31

emphasized importance of studying the AI

play04:34

foundations for people to become an AI

play04:36

product manager here is what he said one

play04:39

of the most asked questions today is

play04:42

that how can people become a AI product

play04:44

manager so what's your advice to them

play04:47

because so hard right now so what's your

play04:49

advice yeah good question um teams I've

play04:51

worked on have done a lot of AI stuff

play04:53

you know kind of machine learning

play04:56

computer vision related stuff image

play04:58

recognition so on so I think you know

play05:00

working on some of those kinds of Basics

play05:03

and things that are like in general I

play05:05

like the I guess I would say I like the

play05:07

unsexy side of sexy technology so

play05:10

specific example you know we were

play05:12

competing for you know phds in ml and AI

play05:15

related disciplines

play05:17

um when we were doing kind of image

play05:19

recognition for figuring out if you know

play05:21

people are trying to put porn in ads we

play05:23

were competing with people trying to you

play05:25

wanted to build filters for Snapchat or

play05:28

Facebook or whatever you know you know

play05:30

real time computation applications and

play05:32

so I think

play05:34

again like if you're you know if you're

play05:36

thinking about some of that stuff I'd

play05:38

say look at some of the things

play05:39

decide or the fundamentals of the

play05:41

Baseline the basics and learn those

play05:43

that's always a good thing to

play05:45

you know to you know that's one way to

play05:48

kind of get up to speed on something in

play05:49

a way that maybe isn't as might be

play05:51

harder less hard to get into than if

play05:54

you're trying to go work at the hottest

play05:55

new startup that's doing some of this

play05:56

stuff again you should try that too but

play05:58

the reality is

play06:00

a lot of these fundamentals I think will

play06:02

stand people in good stead if they learn

play06:04

them and they understand them deeply

play06:06

and this is a podcast interview I had

play06:09

with Rob and in my product Insider

play06:12

podcast you can check out the full video

play06:14

version of the podcast right here and

play06:16

we're also going to publish the podcast

play06:18

through Spotify and apple podcast you

play06:21

should subscribe to this podcast once

play06:22

it's available now you guys may ask hey

play06:25

Nancy what are those Foundation skills

play06:27

and learn about AI because it's too

play06:29

broad too big now let me list all the

play06:32

key skills you need to master in the AI

play06:35

space number one which data set you

play06:37

should use to train the AI model and how

play06:39

to train the AI model and number two

play06:41

understand the differences between

play06:42

training data and test data and number

play06:45

three I understand Super Wise

play06:47

non-supervised and semi-supervised data

play06:51

model and number four understand

play06:52

language process models used by bars and

play06:56

understand natural language processing

play06:58

as well as feedback and imputation Loops

play07:01

I know all the songs like World Disney

play07:03

knowledge me Nancy I already did lots of

play07:06

research about different kind of courses

play07:08

you can take for example you should take

play07:10

this Coursera course regarding

play07:11

supervised and non-supervised training

play07:14

models and this course about the

play07:16

national language processing and broke

play07:18

into four steps you need to learn and

play07:20

another course about feedback loop I

play07:23

have collected list of easy to digest

play07:25

technical courses for product managers

play07:27

and most of them are free and you can go

play07:30

to this website and download all the PDF

play07:32

guide of recommended courses I verified

play07:34

and use by me I'm also going to link the

play07:37

website in the description of this video

play07:39

after you took those AI courses you

play07:41

should directly create a product per

play07:43

photo for experience Prime manager but

play07:45

part of performance mainly emphasize on

play07:47

your knowledge about Ai and what did you

play07:50

do about AI maybe some kind of side plus

play07:52

I can work on with other people about Ai

play07:54

and this can turn into a product

play07:56

portfolio for experience product manager

play07:59

and that is going to open so many doors

play08:01

for you to break into AI product

play08:03

management the third way to become AI

play08:05

Prime manager is create a strategic

play08:08

product Vision that adding the AI

play08:10

element to an existing part roadmap for

play08:13

example if you're already a product

play08:14

manager in the cloud space or product

play08:17

manager in the iot space many different

play08:19

spaces and in the past AI wasn't very

play08:22

popular and other people are not in the

play08:25

rush to create AI related products

play08:28

however time is different in 2023 with

play08:31

all the charitivity disruptions so many

play08:34

companies think about how can they

play08:35

leverage AI create the competitive

play08:38

strengths so therefore if your smartest

play08:40

product manager should create a unique

play08:42

strategy polar Vision to demonstrate how

play08:44

your ex different product can integrate

play08:46

with AI for example if you're running

play08:48

any Cloud product or any ads product can

play08:52

you use AI empowered ads to make your

play08:55

ads run more efficiently if so you can

play08:59

directly work on AI product without

play09:03

applying for a new job just within your

play09:05

own company let me give you a specific

play09:07

example regarding how I became AI

play09:09

product manager because the first Prime

play09:11

manager position I was hired is a smart

play09:14

series product manager but at the time

play09:16

we didn't know what kind of Technology

play09:18

we should use to help CDs use car

play09:20

crashes then I provide a strategic

play09:22

Vision about we should use iot and

play09:25

Machine Vision

play09:26

to help CDs reduce car crashes that's

play09:29

how I was able to tap into multiple

play09:31

domain names in my career without

play09:34

actually getting any degree in those

play09:36

space and I was highly respected by my

play09:39

engineering team because my knowledge

play09:41

about AI by taking different kind of AI

play09:43

courses myself I'm going to make an

play09:46

end-to-end descriptions regarding daily

play09:47

life at the AI Prime manager in my next

play09:50

video make sure to turn on the Bell

play09:52

notification once it's available the

play09:54

fourth way to become AI product manager

play09:56

is by transitioning from AI Engineers

play10:00

machine learning Engineers data

play10:02

scientists into product management in

play10:05

the AI space and this is the easiest way

play10:08

to do because it'll probably take you a

play10:10

longer time to learn AI knowledge

play10:12

compared with taking a longer time to

play10:14

run plan management knowledge so if

play10:16

you're currently already AI Engineers or

play10:19

someone knows so much about AI you start

play10:21

to learn end-to-end product management

play10:22

skills product management life cycles

play10:24

and then turn those skills into

play10:26

portfolio to demonstrate you actually

play10:28

know product management and you have a

play10:30

solid foundation about Ai and else your

play10:34

password for example one of our students

play10:36

was a PhD in machine learning and he was

play10:39

able to become an AI Prime manager in

play10:41

the self-driving car space I believe you

play10:43
