AI invasion: How companies are inserting AI into their products

The rapid adoption of AI across various industries has seen companies, from startups to tech giants, integrating AI into their products in diverse and sometimes unnecessary ways. The rise of generative AI, exemplified by OpenAI's ChatGPT, has revolutionized how AI is used, with its ability to generate data rather than just predict outcomes. Generative AI models, such as large language models (LLMs), are trained on vast datasets, allowing them to perform a wide array of tasks beyond text generation. Companies are employing AI to enhance user experience by embedding AI features in existing products, using proprietary data to train AI models, and rethinking user interfaces to incorporate natural language prompts. Some organizations utilize AI to improve existing workflows or create entirely new user experiences, while others are integrating AI to solve specific tasks without relying on chatbot interfaces. As AI continues to influence business strategies, product managers are encouraged to adopt AI thoughtfully, ensuring that its integration aligns with customer needs and business objectives, rather than merely following trends.
