Putting AI to Work: A Practical Training Course for Product Managers (Online / Remote)
1Summary
Most product teams are under pressure to “do something with AI”, but that pressure rarely comes with a clear answer for which AI feature is worth building, or how to ship one responsibly. This course exists to replace that vague pressure with a workable process: spotting genuine AI opportunities, evaluating them against customer value, and working with engineering and data science teams to turn them into shipped, measurable features rather than demo-only prototypes.
Delivered by Arab British Fellowship Training Academy within its Product Management Courses, the programme covers ChatGPT and generative AI use cases, machine learning fundamentals for non-technical product managers, automation opportunities, and the ethics, privacy and governance questions that come with putting AI in front of real customers.
2Objectives and target group
- Separate genuine AI opportunities from features built just to follow a trend.
- Build an AI strategy that connects to real product vision and roadmap.
- Evaluate practical use cases for ChatGPT and generative AI in a product context.
- Understand machine learning fundamentals well enough to work with technical teams.
- Identify automation opportunities that genuinely improve customer experience.
- Prioritise AI features by customer value, not technical novelty.
- Measure the performance and real impact of AI-powered features after launch.
- Address ethics, privacy and governance questions before they become a crisis.
