This is a good book for anyone with out a deep product background, or if you're a product person and trying to see how to analyze and understand how AI changes the developer, user, and product experience.

A great intro for those trying to determine how to define your products in the age of AI, and a good refresher for those in the field.

Especially helpful are the sections on mapping the solution space, identifying where AI might be problematic (e.g. effects of bias) and defining how it changes your user experience.

Dr. Janna Lipenkova’s book offers an excellent exploration of the intersection between AI technologies and business innovation. It provides a wealth of valuable insights and practical knowledge, serving as a highly useful guide for AI product development. Moreover, it can serve as an effective blueprint for teaching AI and innovation at the university level. I highly recommend this book to both AI practitioners and business professionals.

The book is quite dense, but very well-researched and grounded. I was struggling with looking past all the buzz and hype around AI, and this book really helped me understand what actually works with the present capabilities of the technology. It manages to organically put AI into the larger context of a business.

I have read part of this book and I should appreciate it as it's written quite good and should be very helpful for those PM who are just learning the AI possibilities for their work. It can also be helpful for everyone from the related fields like UX / UI design, FE and BE if you want to switch from your field to PM or simply understand AI that is used in your company on all levels.

The book Art of AI Product Development is a great resource for any person working in product development who wants to understand more about how AI-based applications work. The book covers how this new technology is transforming multiple industries and how LLMs can be applied in our own work contexts. I really recommend this reading for my peer product people.

I really enjoyed the scenarios in the book. Almost every chapter is based on an end-to-end story, and it is not just made up, you can feel the practical side of it. That was very useful for me to develop a more differentiated judgement when it comes to AI!

Very practical, well-structured book. Really gave me more confidence with AI - it is not super technical, but everything is backed by high-quality sources.

The book is exceptionally well-structured, comprehensive, and practical, offering a full-spectrum view of AI products.It successfully combines strategic thinking with tactical implementation, making it valuable for all roles such as PMs, data scientists, and cross-functional teams.

The book has balanced coverage of both business and technical aspects focussed on sections about language models, RAG, fine-tuning, agentic AI, and prompt engineering but also AI governance, UX for uncertainty

Some sections can be re-ordered for flow and easier understanding and adding more case studies or interviews with AI product teams would make the read more interesting.
