The Power of Explaining Your AI Work

I recently worked on a video generation model that produced impressive results. But here's the uncomfortable truth: if I couldn't explain how it works, I haven't really accomplished anything meaningful.

If You Can't EXPLAIN It, You Haven't BUILT It!

Technical expertise alone isn't enough in AI development. Here's why:

Clear Communication is Critical

• Your breakthrough means nothing if stakeholders can't understand it
• Different audiences need different explanations
• Documentation requires technical depth
• Press releases need accessible language
• Internal communications must balance both

The Documentation Framework

Think of your explanations in three tiers:

1. Technical documentation for developers
2. Business summaries for executives
3. Public-facing content for general audiences

Why This Matters

These "𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴" determine whether your innovation:

• Gets adopted by your organisation
• Receives proper funding
• Scales effectively
• Creates real impact

Remember: The ability to explain your solution clearly isn't just a nice-to-have skill. It's what transforms complex AI work into practical business value.

What's your biggest challenge when explaining technical work to non-technical audiences?
