    #42 Bias, Fairness & Inclusivity in AI Products: What PMs Must Own

    AI doesn’t just learn from data — it learns from our data. And that means it can inherit the same biases, blind spots, and inequalities that exist in the real world. In this episode of Product Bakar, Rishikesh Kankal dives into one of the most critical — and often uncomfortable — topics in AI product building: bias, fairness, and inclusivity. This isn’t just a technical problem for data scientists. It’s a product problem, and Product Managers play a central role in either amplifying bias or preventing it. In this episode, we cover: How bias quietly creeps into AI systems through data and usage patterns Real-world examples of biased AI in hiring, facial recognition, and credit scoring Why fairness directly impacts user trust, business growth, and regulatory risk Practical actions PMs can take to design more inclusive AI products How to move fairness from an afterthought to a core product principle If you’re building AI-powered products, this episode will help you ask better questions, define better metrics, and build products that work for more people — not just the majority.

    #41 The Regulation Puzzle: Building AI Products That Stay Compliant

    AI innovation is moving fast — but regulation is catching up. From the EU AI Act to US executive orders, and evolving rules across India and China, governments worldwide are setting boundaries for how AI products can be built and deployed. And for Product Managers, this creates a tough reality: If your AI product isn’t compliant, it doesn’t matter how innovative it is — it’s a liability. In this episode of Product Bakar, we unpack the regulation puzzle and break down what PMs actually need to know to ship AI products that are both fast and safe. We cover: Why AI regulation is uniquely complex and constantly changing The core areas regulators care about: transparency, privacy, accountability, and risk How frameworks like the EU AI Act think about low vs high-risk AI use cases A practical PM playbook for staying compliant without slowing delivery Why compliance isn’t a blocker — but a long-term survival strategy This episode is essential listening for PMs building, scaling, or planning AI-powered products in a global market.
