AI: Overhyped or Underhyped? A Strategic Lens on What Comes Next
OUT OF CAMPUS – EVENT INVITATION
Date: Tuesday May 19, 2026 Time: 6-8pm ET
Location: CIC Cambridge @ 1 Broadway
AI is everywhere—but most teams are still figuring out what it actually means for their products and their strategy.
We’re seeing an explosion of AI-powered features, faster development cycles, and new capabilities across the board. And yet, many teams are struggling to translate that into meaningful impact.
As Martin Eriksson puts it, many companies are using AI to build the same mediocre software—just faster.
So which is it?
Are we overhyping what AI can do today?
Or underestimating how fundamentally it will reshape how we build products over the next decade?
In this talk and fireside chat, Martin Eriksson, co-founder of Mind the Product and one of the people who helped define modern product management, will share a strategic perspective on AI’s real impact—cutting through the noise to focus on what actually matters.
This event also marks the kickoff of Martin’s U.S. book tour for The Decision Stack.
