AI can automate customer research, analyze feedback, generate product insights, and accelerate development, but Product Managers are still needed to define product vision, prioritize trade-offs, understand customer behavior, and align business, technology, and design teams. As AI-powered products become increasingly common, Product Managers who can combine strategic thinking with strong execution will remain in exceptionally high demand.
