AI Chats: Demystifying AI

Many business owners hear about AI every day but what does it mean for their business. This first session focuses on practical understanding
About this Event

Artificial intelligence is changing how businesses market, communicate, create content, serve customers, and improve productivity. Many business owners feel overwhelmed, unsure where to start, or hesitant to ask questions.

The AI Peer Circle is a facilitated learning community for entrepreneurs, business owners, service providers, and professionals who want to explore AI together in a practical, judgment-free environment. This is not a traditional workshop, it’s not a sales event and it is in person.

Over the series, we will learn through discussion, peer experiences, live demonstrations, and hands-on activities based on real business challenges. Let's learn and share AI skills, tools, resources and make business connections.

We start with a series of 3, however, the intent is to continue exploring emerging AI tools, best practices, case studies, and business opportunities.

Together We Will Explore:

• What AI is (and isn’t)
• Generative AI versus predictive AI explained in plain language
• Practical ways small businesses are already using AI
• Common myths and misconceptions
• Where AI can save time and improve productivity
• The Human-in-the-Loop principle: keeping people in control

There will be an opportunity to share how you are currently using AI, what concerns you may have and how you can use AI as it suits your business needs.
