AI doesn’t just make products smarter — it makes them more powerful.

And with that power comes a responsibility that Product Managers can’t ignore: ethics.

In this episode of Product Bakar, Rishikesh Kankal tackles one of the most uncomfortable — yet unavoidable — topics in modern product management: AI ethics and the PM’s role in drawing boundaries.

We explore:

• Why AI ethics is not a legal or engineering problem — but a PM problem

• The real ethical questions AI products force on teams, whether they’re ready or not

• The three biggest ethical fault lines in AI: bias, transparency, and harm

• How PMs can bake ethics into requirements, not slide decks

• Why trust, not just accuracy or engagement, determines long-term product success

This episode isn’t about slowing innovation. It’s about making sure what you build is defensible, trustworthy, and sustainable.

If you’re a PM working on AI-powered products — this conversation will change how you think about responsibility and leadership.
