Specialization in AI Product Management

Develop Your AI and ML Product Strategies and Business Value

About This Program

This program was previously called the Specialization in Machine Learning Product Management.

Building extraordinary products that leverage the power of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) require critical understanding of ML and AI processes and how to adapt traditional workflows. Product teams need managers who understand when and how to incorporate these technologies and how to wisely integrate AI into efficient, market-ready products for industry and consumers.

In this one-course specialization, you’ll learn to evaluate, design and implement machine learning applications from scratch or in existing products. You’ll learn how to develop use cases and explore best practices for ML implementation. Plus, you’ll create a strategic product launch and post-launch plans for native and AI-enhanced projects, while learning dependencies, tradeoffs, deliverables and how to build the tech stack.
