"In college, I started a diversity and inclusion club, and we got a small sponsorship from American Express. I also volunteered for Habitat for Humanity for 2 months, where we provided help in Puerto Rico after the hurricane. I know that American Express has done a lot of work trying to empower underrepresented communities, especially concerning advanced climate action and solutions. I am very passionate about these things, which is in part why I was drawn to this position."

This is more than a "getting to know you chat", and is far more nuanced that it seems. The less guarded you are about your personal life, the more it shows you'll be able to foster interpersonal work relationships. So find relatable points of common interest. Also, to prevent burnout, employees need to have stress-relievers outside of work to keep their stress levels down and productivity up while at work. So, share any hobbies or interests which advertise additional unique skills that could prove transferable to your role, such as being creative or innovative in your hobbies. This question also evaluates, in part, how balanced your time is with your work life, which could also help them decide how well-suited you are for this role.

Even though you are talking to the algorithm, you want to imagine you are speaking to a real person. After the assessment vendor screens your interview performance, it will be viewed by a recruiter. Try to come across as natural, and make eye contact, exude confidence, and communicate clearly. Turn on your computer's camera and practice. Try not to come across as too rehearsed. This could lead to you sounding apathetic or dull. If you can align your interests with the elements of what this opportunity offers, all the better.
