Everyone is talking about generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini. With 92% of Fortune 500 companies and 60% of small businesses using these tools, you can’t afford to miss out. Whether you’ve been curious but intimidated, or whether you’ve played around with some of the technology but aren’t sure how it can help you in your business, this is the session for you.

Our SBDC’s AI specialist will offer a non-technical introduction to generative AI technology, tips for implementing AI effectively in your business, some great advice about managing the risks and ethical concerns involved, and will lead you a hands-on exercise using a generative AI tool.

No matter what your level of technical know-how is, you’ll leave this session informed, confident and aware of both the risks and the benefits of this emerging technology.
