SC Moatti: 我认为产品是目前商业中最重要的功能，它能将技术创新转化为商业价值。在人工智能时代，产品管理职能不会消失，而是会被重塑。我们需要关注如何利用人工智能技术降低成本、提高生产力和增加收入，并关注产品可能产生的意外后果，为道德和信任负责。 Dan Turchin: 我认为讲故事是一种永恒的艺术，对于产品创新至关重要，因为它能帮助人们找到意义和目标。在人工智能时代，我们更应该投资于使我们成为人的东西，培养批判性思维和同理心等技能。同时，我也认为产品经理的角色是负责产品可能产生的意外后果。 Joe Procopio: 我认为传统的产品管理已经死亡，如果你仍然每天坐在JIRA、Confluence和电子表格前，那么你可能很快就会被解雇。但我也认为，真正优秀的产品人比软件开发者更重要，他们需要创新，才能在人工智能时代生存。
