Core lesson
Make the choice inspectable
AI strategy integration matters when it changes a real allocation of attention, money, time, or delivery capacity. AI belongs in strategy when its capabilities improve an important user outcome.
Start by naming the decision and the uncertainty around it. Separate evidence from assumptions, compare at least one alternative, and state what would make you revise the choice.
The source outcome for today is: Differentiate between various types of AI (Narrow AI, General AI, and Superintelligent AI).
What decision will ai strategy integration improve, what evidence is sufficient for that decision, and what is the cost of being wrong?
Worked example
AI strategy integration in practice
For an agent-assist product for service teams, the product manager must design a choice about ai strategy integration. The team records the target user and outcome, the evidence currently available, the strongest alternative, and the next reversible test. The recommendation is written as a choice with a reason—not as a list of features.
Do the work · 20 minutes
Turn the idea into a decision
- Choose a product you know and write the specific decision that ai strategy integration should support.
- List two pieces of evidence, two assumptions, and one credible alternative.
- Make a recommendation in three sentences and add one condition that would change it.

Answer before opening
What is the decision at the centre of ai strategy integration?
A good answer names an accountable choice, not merely an activity or output.
How should evidence and assumptions be separated?
Label observed facts, interpretations, and untested beliefs explicitly so the next learning step is visible.
What makes the recommendation revisable?
It includes a trigger, threshold, or new evidence that would justify changing course.
What should the portfolio artefact communicate?
The context, considered alternatives, chosen direction, rationale, evidence, and remaining risk.
