Built Without Asking: The Human Gap in AI Products
By: Gillian Stolshek
Category: Product Management | Target Audience: Essentials | Format: Case Study
Ring launched Search Party as a way to find lost dogs using neighborhood cameras. It also enrolled every US outdoor camera by default into an AI surveillance network — one its CEO reportedly described as the foundation for eliminating neighborhood crime. OpenClaw captured the internet's imagination as a personal AI assistant — until it began making intimate decisions on behalf of users without their direction. These aren't edge cases. They're symptoms of an industry building faster than it's asking who it's building for. This session examines what happens when AI products lose the human at the center, and what it looks like to find them again. Through two case studies and open discussion, we'll explore the questions product teams should be asking before they automate anything. No framework. No prescriptions. Just a conversation worth having.
All are welcome! Whether you are trying to break into the product world (product, ux, ui, data, dev, marketing, etc.) or are a seasoned veteran, we can all learn from one another!
