Product leaders are increasingly leveraging generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in early-stage innovation to facilitate rapid prototyping, streamline collaboration, and explore diverse design directions efficiently.
GenAI tools enable quick generation of design mockups, feature outlines, user stories, and prototypes, helping teams compress timelines and iterate rapidly.
While GenAI accelerates innovation by automating aspects of design, product leaders emphasize the need for human oversight to evaluate feasibility, align with company goals, and ensure quality.
The strategic use of GenAI in product design for goods and technology sectors, as well as for generating insights and reports in service-oriented companies, is reshaping the role of product leaders as curators of possibility and promoters of diverse perspectives in the creative process.
