The “EducationNest” FAQ for AI Interviews
- Do I need a PhD to get hired in AI? No. In 2026, verifiable skill certifications and a portfolio of Real-World Projects are more valuable than theoretical degrees.
- What is the most important coding language for AI? Python remains the undisputed leader for AI and Machine Learning.
- How much weight do ‘Soft Skills’ carry? Huge. You must be able to explain complex AI outputs to stakeholders using Data Visualization tools.
- What is ‘Prompt Injection’ and how do I prevent it? It’s a security flaw where users hijack an AI’s instructions; it’s a key topic in Modern Cybersecurity.
- Should I focus on Big Data or AI? They are inseparable. AI needs the fuel provided by Hadoop and Spark ecosystems.
