Hi there,
If you're not an expert, don't pretend to be one!
The only thing you can really do is be genuinely interested/engaged and ask insightful questions. If you can show him that, while you don't know much, you learn/think quickly and are ready to be mentored, that's worth as much as anything!
All that said, at least become well enough versed in the topic that you understand key topics! Read BCG insights (https://www.bcg.com/featured-insights/thought-leadership-ideas) and McKinsey insights (https://www.mckinsey.com/featured-insights) on Digitization topics.
Also, very importantly: If you're reading + talking about Digitization and don't genuinely find it interesting, STOP! It's not worth it to continue on that path. If you don't genuinely like it/find it interesting you won't be able to sustain your performance on the job...you'll be doing everyone (them and yourself) a disservice. Be honest about that, and maybe there will be a role in another topic that you genuinely find interesting...pivot and tell him what you're truly interested in.
Good luck, and hope you enjoy the topic :)
