Where Judgment Went — and How to Put It Back

What the product job becomes when you can't see inside your own product. When AI writes the spec and runs the product, thousands of decisions get made that you never see and never signed off on — and your judgment quietly leaks out of the job. This talk traces where it goes, and lays out four concrete places to put it back: governing through rules instead of reviewing decisions, building on ground that survives the next model update, designing away the blank chat box, and treating a graceful handoff as a feature. The session will cover actionable strategies to keep the judgement where it matters the most, aimed at people who own or shape AI products in production including AI product managers, product operations leaders, and engineering leaders.
