Roundtable #7: Spotify, Adobe and Linkedin on How AI Changes The Future of Product & Design | E1097
Gustav Söderström, Scott Belsky, Tomer Cohen, Harry Stebbings
Product leaders from Adobe, Spotify, and LinkedIn converge on an AI-first paradigm that prioritizes specialized long-tail models and proprietary data over general-purpose mega models to secure competitive moats. This strategic shift necessitates a redesign of user interfaces into probabilistic AI personas, transforming design roles to encompass model mechanics, prompt engineering, and cost-efficient infrastructure management. While traditional seat-based licensing remains prevalent, the industry anticipates a future where value-based pricing replaces headcount metrics, driven by the need to simplify complex workflows through intelligent model routing and verticalized hardware.
Tomer Cohen: Why LinkedIn Stories Failed; How LinkedIn's Feed Was Born; AI Startups | E1019
Tomer Cohen, former Chief Product Officer of LinkedIn, discusses the transition of AI from reconstructing existing information to generating entirely new scientific knowledge, a shift he views as transformative for the global economy. Drawing on his background in semiconductors and his tenure leading product strategy at LinkedIn, Cohen outlines how organizations must evolve by prioritizing quality over growth, redefining user "jobs-to-be-done," and integrating AI as a core leadership skill rather than a delegated function. He concludes that future success depends on fostering a growth mindset to navigate rapid skill obsolescence and leveraging bundled AI workflows to solve complex professional challenges.
