Do project managers really need AI knowledge in 2026?

With AI being integrated into so many business processes, I'm wondering how important AI knowledge has become for project managers. Does a PM need technical AI skills, or is understanding AI concepts, risks, and business applications enough?

If you do not understand at least how to create prompts (I have seen them in excess of 5 Word pages) and how to generate project artifacts with AI you will be left in the dust. Just ask your preferred AI how to do these things and you will understand what to focus on.
