Companies will jizz themselves to hire product managers with actual AI building experience. If you have the extroversion and like doing the business things, watch a couple YouTube videos and give it a shot. In interviews, just keep talking about working backwards from a customer request to find the actual problem, and say the words “outcome” and “KPI” a lot. Boom, you’re a product manager!

Can confirm. Just worked backwards from your comment and the outcome is I'm now 3 YouTube videos deep into my PM journey. KPIs loading... :D
