AI Reality Check: Myths and Realities for Product Management

Tired of the AI hype machine? So is Cosette Dwyer, a product manager who has been working with AI longer than most of us have known what it is. (What is it anyway?)

In this no-BS session, OCPM's Marketing Director and Senior Product Manager Cosette Dwyer will tear down the inflated promises, questionable claims, and straight-up myths that have dominated AI conversations in product management. If you've sat through one too many "AI will change everything" pitches that conveniently skip over the messy reality, this talk is your antidote.

Expect honest takes on what's actually delivering value versus what's vaporware with a chatbot slapped on top. Cosette will expose the gaps between Silicon Valley's AI fantasy and what's really happening in the trenches—no sugar coating, no vendor spin, just the hard truths product managers need to hear.

Come ready to challenge your assumptions, laugh at the absurdity, and leave with a clearer picture of where AI actually belongs in your product strategy (spoiler: probably not everywhere).

Fair warning: Sacred cows will be slaughtered.
