KI Salon invites you:
How are decisions really made in the application process – and why do conversations often unfold differently than planned? In this interactive 4-hour format, we combine cutting-edge insights from neuroscience with the practical use of generative AI.

The goal: More clarity, greater confidence, and better decisions – for applicants as well as recruiters.

What is it about?

Our brain works with filters, patterns, and automatisms. Under stress, the amygdala takes over, and cognitive biases influence decisions – often unconsciously. At the same time, AI tools open up new possibilities for reflection, preparation, and communication.

In this workshop, participants will learn how to:

  • Identify and actively manage perceptual biases such as confirmation bias, negativity bias, and status quo thinking
  • Regulate stress responses in less than a minute
  • Build trust and resonance intentionally in conversations
  • Address the five core neurobiological needs (status, certainty, autonomy, relatedness, fairness) consciously
  • Use generative AI as a training and reflection partner
  • Experience a dynamic mix of neuroscience insights, hands-on exercises, and live AI demos with immediate practical relevance

What can you expect?

  • Live demonstrations using common AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity
  • Practical workflows for structured interview preparation
  • Methods to realistically assess strengths and development areas
  • Exercises to strengthen self-efficacy and mental clarity
  • Proven communication techniques for confident and motivating interviews
  • Immediately applicable tools for sustainably improving the quality of application and selection interviews

Speakers:
Dorothee Töreki (Expert in Artificial Intelligence & Digital Transformation)
Margareta Jäger (Master of Cognitive Neuroscience, Managing Director of GenHuman)

Technical requirements: Laptop, smartphone, or tablet, plus access to common AI tools
