McKinsey exec tells summer interns that learning to ask AI the right questions is the key to success

• Learning to ask AI the right questions is important for young consultants, McKinsey exec says.
• The McKinsey exec told one intern to learn to be a great 'prompt engineer.'
• McKinsey said last year that AI is making consultants more efficient, saving 30% of their time.

Standing out in a summer internship these days boils down to one thing — learning to talk to AI.

At least, that's the advice McKinsey's chief client officer, Liz Hilton Segel, gave one eager intern at the firm.

"My advice to her was to be an outstanding prompt engineer," Hilton Segel told The Wall Street Journal.
