It's difficult. 99.9% of AI claims are bull. Lots of people get fooled by AI claims. If you are technical, then you can see through the bull, but if you are not, it's unlikely. Here's some telltales though. Are they saying AI, or ML. If AI, why AI and not ML? Is it just because it sounds cooler? Then run. Here's my personal observation, which a lot of people in the AI space will contest: there are some fantastic applications of AI/ML, but they require deep domain knowledge/insight/expertise. Ask yourself if the person pitching you the job has some very deep domain knowledge? If so, why is he pitching the job as an AI opportunity, and not an XYZ opportunity. To give you an example: Boom Supersonic. Most likely they use plenty of ML. But they'll never try to hire someone as an ML company, but as an aviation company. So, here's a way to see through the fog: ask them if they'd be in the same business if AI were not a thing. AI should be just a force multiplier, AI by itself can't produce shit. If they hesitate answering the question, just run.
