Generative AI in the Real World: Competing in a Generative World with Justin Norman
Product Management for Generative AI
Justin Norman, author of Product Management for AI and co-founder of Vera, a startup focused on security for generative AI, talks with Ben Lorica about how product management has changed since generative AI came on the scene. He discusses the issues retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) raises for product management; how reliability has become part of a product’s value; how companies that have lagged in their adoption of AI can use generative AI as a way to catch up; and the ability of open source AI in helping smaller companies compete with more established companies.
