Shailendra Kumar

Product Lead

Shailendra Kumar

Product Lead

In the rush to implement AI, teams often build models before defining what success looks like. Shailendra Kumar will unpack how to set clear targets for AI features, track the edge cases that matter most, and balance technological leverage against risk. Expect practical insights on avoiding "trust debt" and designing AI products that are genuinely reliable and user-centric.

01
Define "Good" Before You Build

Learn how to set a clear standard for an AI feature before a single model is written, ensuring your team builds toward a definitive target instead of defining success post-launch.
02
The Metrics That Actually Matter

Discover why average metrics often bury critical failures, and explore what product teams should track instead to catch the edge cases that quietly erode user trust.
03
CALIBRATE: Leverage vs. Risk

Understand how to evaluate when AI genuinely adds leverage versus when it just adds risk, and explore why "trust debt" is more dangerous than tech debt.
