AI for Small Businesses
This session is designed for businesses who want to take the next step in their use of AI for operations, marketing, customer service and growth. We’ll show you real-world examples, and help you to develop some use-cases and pilots that you can apply to your own business.
We’ll also be discussing how to measure the impact of using AI to ensure it is a worthwhile investment, and to look at evaluating processes in your business that could be helped with the use of AI or present new opportunities.
