AI gatekeeping is real: how PMs can fight centralized 'AI strategist' teams
aakashgupta · x · 2026-11-12
Quoting a popular r/ProductManagement post, Aakash Gupta argues that companies funneling AI feature approvals through dedicated 'AI strategist' teams is a product leadership failure — every PM should own the AI roadmap for their area. His advice for PMs stuck in this situation: don't get discouraged (mobile and cloud had the same centers-of-excellence phase, use the extra resources), pitch directly to the AI group and share credit, and keep doing good work — bad leadership eventually gets replaced or the AI group fails, and the people who made sense from day one win.
