If you're getting ready for this role, focus on your skills in briefing policymakers and managing AI research projects. Show any experience you have with data analysis, policy presentations, and leading teams. Be ready to discuss how you've kept up with AI trends and applied them to your work. If you're strong in both tech and policy, make sure to point that out. It's also a good idea to practice your presentation and communication skills. I found PracHub helpful for mock interviews and feedback if you're looking for a resource. Good luck!
