Product leaders face a critical challenge: AI is rapidly reshaping people’s expectations, but most projects still focus on technical capabilities rather than real human needs. The gap between what AI can do and what users actually value is where opportunities (and risks) lie.
In our RD Magazine article What Human-Centered AI really means, written in collaboration with Juan Manuel Gonzalez Huesca (ASML) and prof. Mykola Pechenizkiy (TU/Eindhoven), we argue that human-centered AI isn’t just a principle: it’s the foundation for lasting impact. We explore why the most successful AI projects start with user priorities, business context, and ethical considerations, not just algorithms and data. From the EU’s pioneering regulations to case studies of failed projects, we reveal how to design AI that delivers real value, before the window closes.
