J’ai eu une discussion inspirante avec M. Arthur Mensch de Mistral AI sur le paysage international de l’IA en pleine évolution. Nous avons échangé nos points de vue sur l’IA digne de confiance, l’innovation et la nécessité de faire en sorte que l’IA reste centrée sur l’humain et inclusive.
Nous avons discuté des possibilités de partenariats en Inde dans divers domaines. L’Inde reste engagée pour le développement de solutions IA qui servent l’humanité tout en promouvant l’innovation, la confiance et la coopération internationale.

🤖 Ever heard of #AI agents?
“An AI agent is a program that can communicate, identify a need, and act on it — far beyond traditional automation,” explains Joachim Fléchaire, VP AI at @Orange.
A real shift underway, from #IT support to predictive maintenance.

AI Product Management
AI Product Management is evolving rapidly. The growth of generative AI and AI-based developer tools has created numerous opportunities to build AI applications. This is making it possible to build new kinds of things, which in turn is driving shifts in best practices in product management — the discipline of defining what to build to serve users — because what is possible to build has shifted. In this post, I’ll share some best practices I have noticed.
Use concrete examples to specify AI products. Starting with a concrete idea helps teams gain speed. If a product manager (PM) proposes to build “a chatbot to answer banking inquiries that relate to user accounts,” this is a vague specification that leaves much to the imagination. For instance, should the chatbot answer questions only about account balances or also about interest rates, processes for initiating a wire transfer, and so on? But if the PM writes out a number (say, between 10 and 50) of concrete examples of conversations they’d like a chatbot to execute, the scope of their proposal becomes much clearer. Just as a machine learning algorithm needs training examples to learn from, an AI product development team needs concrete examples of what we want an AI system to do. In other words, the data is your PRD (product requirements document)!
In a similar vein, if someone requests “a vision system to detect pedestrians outside our store,” it’s hard for a developer to understand the boundary conditions. Is the system expected to work at night? What is the range of permissible camera angles? Is it expected to detect pedestrians who appear in the image even though they’re 100m away? But if the PM collects a handful of pictures and annotates them with the desired output, the meaning of “detect pedestrians” becomes concrete. An engineer can assess if the specification is technically feasible and if so, build toward it. Initially, the data might be obtained via a one-off, scrappy process, such as the PM walking around taking pictures and annotating them. Eventually, the data mix will shift to real-word data collected by a system running in production.
Using examples (such as inputs and desired outputs) to specify a product has been helpful for many years, but the explosion of possible AI applications is creating a need for more product managers to learn this practice.
Assess technical feasibility of LLM-based applications by prompting. When a PM scopes out a potential AI application, whether the application can actually be built — that is, its technical feasibility — is a key criterion in deciding what to do next. For many ideas for LLM-based applications, it’s increasingly possible for a PM, who might not be a software engineer, to try prompting — or write just small amounts of code — to get an initial sense of feasibility.
For example, a PM may envision a new internal tool for routing emails from customers to the right department (such as customer service, sales, etc.). They can prompt an LLM to see if they can get it to select the right department based on an input email, and see if they can achieve high accuracy. If so, this gives engineering a great starting point from which to implement the tool. If not, the PM can falsify the idea themselves and perhaps improve the product idea much faster than if they had to rely on an engineer to build a prototype.
Often, testing feasibility requires a little more than prompting. For example, perhaps the LLM-based email system needs basic RAG capability to help it make decisions. Fortunately, the barrier to writing small amounts of code is now quite low, since AI can help by acting as a coding companion, as I describe in the course, “AI Python for Beginners.” This means that PMs can do much more technical feasibility testing, at least at a basic level, than was possible before.
Prototype and test even without engineers. User feedback to initial prototypes is also instrumental to shaping products. Fortunately, barriers to building prototypes rapidly are falling, and PMs themselves can move basic prototypes forward without needing professional software developers.
In addition to using LLMs to help write code for prototyping, tools like Replit, Vercel’s V0, Bolt, and Anthropic’s Artifacts (I’m a fan of all of these!) are making it easier for people without a coding background to build and experiment with simple prototypes. These tools are increasingly accessible to non-technical users, though I find that those who understand basic coding are able to use them much more effectively, so it’s still important to learn basic coding. (Interestingly, highly technical, experienced developers use them too!) Many members of my teams routinely use such tools to prototype, get user feedback, and iterate quickly.
AI is enabling a lot of new applications to be built, creating massive growth in demand for AI product managers who know how to scope out and help drive progress in building these products. AI product management existed before the rise of generative AI, but the increasing ease of building applications is creating greater demand for AI applications, and thus a lot of PMs are learning AI and these emerging best practices for building AI products. I find this discipline fascinating, and will keep on sharing best practices as they grow and evolve.
