WEBVTT 00:05.720 --> 00:10.100 The special thing about KIT is that, on the one hand, we can be very 00:10.100 --> 00:10.800 proud of our history. 00:11.760 --> 00:14.280 We are the first technical university in Germany. 00:15.060 --> 00:16.660 We have produced several Nobel Prize winners. 00:17.860 --> 00:21.640 But what is also particularly cool is the recognition of the industry 00:21.640 --> 00:23.960 by the students, i.e. 00:24.000 --> 00:26.540 by the graduates and simply by the people who are here. 00:26.540 --> 00:31.320 I studied business engineering at KIT in my bachelor's and master's 00:31.320 --> 00:35.140 degree, in my master's with a focus on digitization, Industry 4.0. 00:35.300 --> 00:38.380 That has paved the way for me where I am now, because I am now a 00:38.380 --> 00:42.080 software portfolio manager at Siemens and am busy integrating 00:42.080 --> 00:45.140 artificial intelligence into our industry software. 00:46.620 --> 00:51.540 I know that I had a lot of fun with algorithms, with computer science 00:51.540 --> 00:55.920 and operations research and simply understanding the logic of why 00:55.920 --> 01:00.020 something is the way it is and what is behind it, calculating the 01:00.020 --> 01:02.960 lighting perfectly and how it works. 01:03.080 --> 01:07.880 I had a lot of fun integrating that into the industry and best of all 01:07.880 --> 01:10.400 in an automated way via artificial intelligence. 01:10.880 --> 01:11.900 That is very exciting. 01:12.460 --> 01:15.720 We are sitting here in the Gerzen lecture hall, which has also shaped 01:15.720 --> 01:19.820 physics very much, which still shapes the basic books for the physics 01:19.820 --> 01:20.400 course. 01:20.910 --> 01:27.080 We have the Herzhörser, where electromagnetic waves were also detected 01:27.080 --> 01:27.080 for the first time. 01:28.060 --> 01:32.020 We have Nobel Prize winners, Ferdinand Braun, for example, and Fritz 01:32.020 --> 01:32.480 Haber. 01:33.020 --> 01:34.660 You can be very, very proud of that. 01:35.140 --> 01:39.720 The history of women, however, is still relatively short at KIT, 01:39.960 --> 01:42.100 because it only began in the 20th century. 01:42.900 --> 01:47.760 And that's why I would like it if we could simply write more women on 01:47.760 --> 01:48.580 the list of Nobel Prize winners in the future. 01:49.340 --> 01:54.040 I have a history account on Instagram, which is called Geschichte im 01:54.040 --> 01:54.340 Bild. 01:55.180 --> 01:59.780 And the name is also a program, and I show where we find history in 01:59.780 --> 02:03.060 everyday life by making a picture comparison of what the place used to 02:03.060 --> 02:04.880 look like and what it looks like today. 02:05.460 --> 02:08.680 And the exciting thing about it is that sometimes it looks exactly the 02:08.680 --> 02:11.500 same and sometimes completely different. 02:11.620 --> 02:14.940 And every time there is a story behind it that I want to tell. 02:15.460 --> 02:19.200 My grandma would say I was interested in history as a little child, 02:19.320 --> 02:22.560 because I was always at her jewellery and said, show me the things 02:22.560 --> 02:23.340 from the war. 02:24.060 --> 02:28.280 And that's how I feel to this day, that I just want to see where there 02:28.280 --> 02:31.180 is history, where is history in it, because it affects our everyday 02:31.180 --> 02:35.100 life, our political situation, but also who we are as individuals. 02:35.760 --> 02:39.560 And often we pass by places in everyday life and overlook what can be 02:39.560 --> 02:40.540 seen there in history. 02:41.860 --> 02:43.800 And that's exactly what I pick up on my account. 02:43.800 --> 02:46.980 So I make a comparison of what it used to look like and what it looks 02:46.980 --> 02:49.740 like today and write about what happened there in history. 02:50.140 --> 02:53.920 I think what will concern us as a society in the future is the topic 02:53.920 --> 02:57.740 of sustainability and even now the topic of artificial intelligence. 02:58.460 --> 03:01.400 And these are key pillars of the KIT, where we can simply bring 03:01.400 --> 03:03.680 research and industry together. 03:04.600 --> 03:07.900 So now also from my professional point of view, since I deal a lot 03:07.900 --> 03:12.520 with artificial intelligence, we also have a close link to the KIT and 03:12.520 --> 03:15.120 we develop research projects together. 03:15.480 --> 03:18.500 And that is what will shape the future of the KIT for me. 03:19.740 --> 03:22.260 So I think there will be two big challenges. 03:23.040 --> 03:25.600 One is the topic of digitization. 03:25.980 --> 03:29.920 So as an alumni, I had my graduation before the corona time and didn't 03:29.920 --> 03:31.220 notice all this change. 03:32.220 --> 03:37.040 But now also simply offering digital teaching offers, but also finding 03:37.040 --> 03:39.920 the balance at the same time that students are on site and come 03:39.920 --> 03:40.440 together. 03:40.760 --> 03:42.400 I see that as a challenge. 03:43.320 --> 03:47.900 And the second is the topic of artificial intelligence, Chats GPT. 03:49.000 --> 03:53.440 Yes, I think it is now standard that students use Chats GPT for 03:53.440 --> 03:55.240 homework, for final work. 03:56.180 --> 04:00.060 And to find the right way to maintain the quality of teaching, but 04:00.060 --> 04:04.360 also to use innovative technologies and to apply them correctly, I see 04:04.360 --> 04:06.840 that as two very challenging fields for the future. 04:07.380 --> 04:13.420 The orientation phase, so the first week where you are simply free, 04:13.780 --> 04:18.100 maybe also a little naive about all the topics, just enjoy getting to 04:18.100 --> 04:21.120 know a lot of people, experience a lot, have a lot of fun. 04:22.040 --> 04:24.740 And there you make friendships that last throughout your studies. 04:25.840 --> 04:28.940 And I think those were the most pivotal weeks. 04:29.260 --> 04:33.920 What makes the KIT attractive for young students is, in addition to 04:33.920 --> 04:36.640 the quality of teaching and the recognition of the graduation 04:36.640 --> 04:40.100 afterwards, that the campus is also very central. 04:40.500 --> 04:43.800 Because I think that's the difference to many other universities, that 04:43.800 --> 04:46.820 you are very close to the city and don't have to drive up a high 04:46.820 --> 04:47.140 mountain. 04:48.160 --> 04:51.920 And that's what distinguishes the KIT and the many young people in the 04:51.920 --> 04:52.140 city. 04:52.560 --> 04:57.240 I wish the KIT for the future that it is the challenge with the 04:57.240 --> 05:01.560 demographic change, the digitalization of artificial intelligence, 05:01.780 --> 05:06.420 that sustainability is solved and that it continues to win many 05:06.420 --> 05:08.780 students and, above all, students for itself.
