The Hamburg-based AI company Synergeticon, the ARIC Hamburg association and the proTechnicale initiative are raising the visibility of AI and promoting women in the sector, which holds all kinds of exciting career opportunities. Hamburg News’ interview series "Female AI - four questions to Women in AI" features women who have already gained a foothold in the industry. 
Our latest interviewee, Dr.-Ing. Susan Wegner, is responsible for the "Artificial Intelligence & Data Analytics" business unit at Lufthansa Industry Solutions in the Hamburg Metropolitan Region. Wegner has over 15 years of experience in machine learning, AI and platform/software design, and previously worked for Deutsche Telekon and Bosch, among others. A computer scientist and mathematician by profession, AI quickly became her focal point. Wegner also volunteers as an ambassador for proTechnicale, the technical orientation and qualification year for young women.
Hamburg News: What do you do in the AI industry, and why is that important?
Dr.-Ing. Susan Wegner: My job is to make AI tangible and usable for everyone. AI systems already help and relieve people with everyday tasks and that allows us to use our valuable time more efficiently. I explore use cases where AI can help us with tasks and actions thereby making our routines and lives more efficient and effective. Humanity can evolve significantly with the support of AI, not only in terms of positive financial impact for businesses, but also as a community and society.
