Can You Outsmart a Bot?

With AI tools increasingly used in hiring like automated resume screeners or video interviews, communicating clearly and confidently with machines is becoming a real-world skill. Imagine applying for a job where your first interview is with an AI bot that scores your tone, keywords, and body language. Sounds futuristic? It’s already happening in many companies today. This Skillbuilder challenges you to think about how you'd adapt your communication style when the "person" on the other end isn't a person at all.

Task:
You're interviewing with an AI for your dream job. How would you prepare to make a strong impression? What challenges might come up when trying to connect with a machine and how would you solve them?
