Pro tips from @toryhargro for #productdevelopment:

"Responsible AI is not just a compliance and legal issue as well as a moral responsibility but it is also business 101. You want the most amount of people to access and find value in your product as possible." - @toryhargro (@Meta) @AfroTech#AI#ArtificialIntelligence#tech
In an @AfroTech session w/ Jennifer Booker from @Intuit on Implementing Generative AI in a Large Organization she emphasizes scale enablement. I love that at @boomi we create repeatable frameworks of automated workflows for companies preparing for scaled growth & embracing AI.
Great reminder for storytelling from @BiancaMaxwell: The "why should I care?" and "what's in it for me?" should change for every audience. #storytelling@AfroTech
I LOVE the way @sineadbovell described this moment in AI "The camera has been invented but movies and Hollywood have not." What an exciting time in tech! @afrotech#AI#ArtificialInteligence

Learning from @FonzMorris of @netflix about testing for UX design. Translating text across languages can really disrupt the user experience. So their team created a text language to test the impact.

"Empathy without humility is just judgement." Strong quote this morning in a session on Product Equity with Timothy Bardlavens at @AfroTech#product#equity#tech#afrotech
"Autonomy differs from empowerment. Empowerment is being given a problem to solve and the ability to figure out the best solution. Autonomy is having everything you need under your control to get the work done." - Marty Cagan #ProductFestRVA#autonomy#empowerment#management
"You cannot be a good manager today without being a good coach. Great people leaders practice empowerment instead of micromanagement." - Marty Cagan on #leadership#management#ProductFestRVA
"The worst thing is innovation for innovation's sake because no one is thinking about the repercussions." - Jen Finn (Co-Founder, project-mongoose) #ProductFestRVA#innovation#artificialintelligence
