Product Collective - Data science for Product Managers
The art and science of data scienceEveryone is talking about AI (including us last week). What should probably get more discussion is the importance of the data you dump in the AI hopper. Of course, data is valuable even when you don’t use it to fuel AI but for more mundane uses like, oh, I don’t know, seeing how well your product is performing. With that in mind, this week, we look at the world of data science and its importance to your product management efforts. Meanwhile, in product news, one company wants you to get money when AI uses your data, another company wants to charge you to share data, a third company wants you to use a design system, and the federal government really doesn’t want you to use a fourth company’s product. Analytics and data science fundamentals for product managers. Data science and analytics play a very important role in Product Management. They help product managers make informed decisions, refine product performance, and create more effective strategies. Jayendra More provides an overview of analytics and data science fundamentals for product managers. Leveraging data science in product management: The Rise of Data Product Managers. Data plays a big role in shaping successful products in today's digital era. As products become more sophisticated and data-driven, you’ve probably seen the value of harnessing data to make informed decisions, enhance existing products, and create entirely new ones. Vishal Ranjan Pandey explores the synergy between data science and product management and sheds light on the pivotal role data product managers play in ensuring product success. Continues below...
This Week’s Interview: Why more data can lead to worse decisionsDespite the increasing availability of data, people seem to struggle to make the right decisions. The human element is easy to ignore when you’re talking about AI, machine learning, or the latest tool. However, this is where things can easily fall apart for teams striving to be data-driven. We assume that more data will lead to more confidence. The more we know, the better, right? In theory, yes, but this doesn’t seem to work that way in practice. In this discussion, Mike Belsito digs in on this challenge with Ruben Ugarte, Principal at Practico Analytics. This video and many others like it are available on our Member Hub.

Wrapping up the New York Product Conference Apple has been keeping its cards close to the chest when it comes to generative AI, but according to The Verge – recent developments suggest that the tech giant is focusing on making AI run efficiently on its devices. This approach aligns with Apple's emphasis on user privacy and local data processing. The company recently released OpenELM (Open-source Efficient Language Models), a series of lightweight language models that perform remarkably well on text-related tasks like email composition. What's intriguing about OpenELM is its size – the largest model has only 3 billion parameters, making it smaller than most lightweight AI models. This efficiency is key to running AI smoothly on devices like iPhones and MacBooks. As Product Managers, efficiency is crucial when delivering seamless user experiences. By prioritizing local processing, Apple ensures its AI features will run smoothly without relying on cloud servers, reducing latency and enhancing privacy. Apple's Data Science teams likely play a critical role in optimizing these models, leveraging techniques like feature selection, dimensionality reduction, and model compression. By carefully curating and preprocessing the training data, they can create models that deliver impressive performance while maintaining a small footprint. While Apple hasn't revealed the specifics of its generative AI plans, it has released various AI models and frameworks, hinting at potential applications in image editing, UI navigation, and even code completion. As Product Leaders, it's essential to keep an eye on these developments and consider how they might shape the future of our products. As the AI landscape evolves, seeing how Apple's approach influences the broader product ecosystem will be fascinating. Apple may not be the very first to market – but they never really have been, have they? But when they arrive… they usually make a splash.
