AI is changing product innovation fast — and PDMA wants to hear how your team is experiencing it.
The AI Threshold Project is gathering insights from product and innovation professionals on the opportunities, challenges, and realities of AI adoption today. The survey takes less than five minutes, and the findings will help shape future kHUB content, interviews, and industry insights.
AI is already changing products. The bigger question is: how will it change innovation itself?
