This document provides tips for talking about artificial intelligence (AI) to non-experts. It begins by explaining why communicating about AI is important and noting that AI will transform industries just as electricity did. The tips include gauging the audience's AI sophistication, using tangible examples, focusing on present applications not future scenarios, emphasizing how AI is used rather than algorithms, and discussing the complexity tradeoff between simple and accurate models. The document concludes with "dos and don'ts" such as sparking curiosity without worrying over vocabulary or focusing only on fictional AIs, and conveying real-world impact rather than doomsday scenarios.
