I conducted a session on Fri, 11 Sep 2026 at [SUTD DAI Signature Master Class · Expert Industry Series](https://www.sutd.edu.sg/) - Singapore University of Technology and Design, Singapore.

**Summary**: Build AI products around evidence, not ideas: prototype quickly, test with agents and real users, and iterate until the product proves its value.
