Скачать или смотреть #68 Yash Chaturvedi: AI PM, Patents & Live Sports Ads: Scene Understanding to Brand Placement

Yash Chaturvedi, Head of Product for Live Sports Ads at Amazon, joins Federico to unpack how AI, computer vision, and product management are reshaping streaming and advertising. Yash traces his path from early OCR projects at Staples to Prime Video, where he helped build long-form video understanding to automate global compliance and power features like maturity ratings and content descriptors. That same foundation inspired his work in virtual/brand placement—seamlessly inserting context-aware brand assets into scenes—leading to multiple U.S. patents and a new, non-interruptive model for monetization.

In live sports, Yash explains how field-level virtual brand placements can be personalized by market and audience, creating relevance without breaking immersion. He contrasts the old “first to market” moat with today’s true moat: first to learn—shipping, measuring, and iterating faster than competitors. For PMs, he outlines the shift toward an AI-native, hybrid role: a discovery-driven generalist who prototypes quickly, partners tightly with engineering and science, and uses LLMs to accelerate research, UX prototyping, and Amazon’s document-heavy culture.

Yash also demystifies the patent process: start with expansive “what-ifs,” pair product storytelling with tech feasibility, and involve legal early to validate novelty and focus the claim. He shares why patents build personal legacy and how they force rigorous product thinking that often improves the actual roadmap.

On the 3–5 year AI horizon, Yash highlights agentic AI that acts across workflows (not just predicts), plus media use cases like dubbing and lip-sync that make global content feel native. He frames AI as a co-pilot that compresses cycles—from concept to prototype to data-backed decisions—without replacing core PM responsibilities like customer advocacy and clear reasoning.
