In many interviews, panel members may not be experts. Explain AI concepts using plain English and relatable analogies. A public-speaking guide for AI job seekers recommends starting with the problem and focusing on the benefits rather than the technology (artificialintelligencejobs.co.uk). For example:
✅ Describe AI as ‘tools that learn from examples to help us predict, automate or create content.’
✅ Use analogies like ‘a neural network is like a brain – it recognises patterns step by step.’
✅ Translate jargon into simple phrases: say ‘finds patterns in data’ instead of ‘machine learning,’ or ‘understands what you type’ instead of ‘natural language processing’ (thisisglance.com).
Non-technical interviewers care about outcomes, not algorithms. Show the business impact: ‘Our AI chatbot reduced response times by 50%, freeing staff for complex queries.’ Also be honest about limitations and the need for human oversight (artificialintelligencejobs.co.uk).
