Sophie Hundertmark im Interview:

1. What are the core subjects of your keynote speeches?

Sophie Hundertmark:

I talk about the topics:

  • Artificial intelligence in companies
  • Chatbots and voicebots
  • Careful and sustainable use of artificial intelligence
  • Ethics and artificial intelligence
  • Useful tips for ChatGPT and co.

In principle, there is no industry focus. However, many enquiries come from the healthcare or financial sectors.

2. Which audiance or which branch do you reach with your speech?

Sophie Hundertmark:

A very broad audience. Everyone who is interested in new technologies and trends.
Sometimes I speak in front of management or CEOs.
But it can also be NGOs or associations.
I’ve also spoken to the Federal Council and taken part in a round table discussion with the Federal Council.

I am also often invited to speak in the finance or healthcare sectors.

3. Are you a PREMIUM SPEAKER? Where do you get your insights from?

Sophie Hundertmark:

I already hosted city events in my home town when I was 18 and took part in the children’s circus as a child.

It motivates me to be on stage and to share my own knowledge with others. In the course of my work as a chartered artist, researcher and lecturer, I have gained a lot of practical and scientific experience. I like to pass on this experience during my presentations. In doing so, I always adapt to the target group without losing my own personality. Positive thinking, a bit of humour and a lot of openness and enthusiasm are simply part of Sophie.

4. What will be in the future? Does «time» play an important role in your work?

Sophie Hundertmark:

I live every moment as if it could be the last. I only put a few things off until the future. If I want to do a motorboat licence, I do it, even if I don’t actually have the time.

And even if I don’t plan too far into the future, I look forward to the next day every evening – anticipation is the greatest joy.

5. Tell us your life motto? What do you want to give your listeners to take with them?

Sophie Hundertmark:

“Great Things never come from comfort zones!”
