There Is No Intelligence in Artificial Intelligence: Artificial Intelligence for Startups

In a world where artificial intelligence is often treated like magic and blockchain like a mystery, this workshop brings both technologies down to earth—right where entrepreneurs and small business owners need them. Designed specifically for startups, this session demystifies AI and blockchain by stripping away the hype and focusing on what these tools actually do, how they work, and how to apply them responsibly to grow a business.

This is not a technical deep dive or a futurist fantasy. Instead, it’s a practical, jargon-free session that empowers founders to make smarter decisions about using AI and blockchain in their products, operations, or marketing. You'll learn the core capabilities—and limitations—of modern AI, and how blockchain can provide the transparency, data integrity, and automation that small businesses often struggle to achieve with limited resources.

The workshop will walk you through real-world use cases in industries like e-commerce, healthcare, and logistics, highlighting how startups are using AI to automate processes and extract insights, while leveraging blockchain to secure their data and build trust with customers and partners. You’ll also explore the intersection of these technologies through tools like AI-powered smart contracts and blockchain-logged AI decisions, enabling your business to scale without sacrificing control or compliance.

Most importantly, you’ll come away with a clear framework for evaluating AI and blockchain solutions for your business—so you can focus on solving real problems, not chasing buzzwords.

If you're wondering whether AI is right for your business, or if you’ve heard about blockchain but don’t know where to start, this workshop will give you the clarity, confidence, and context to move forward with purpose.



What You’ll Learn:
  • What AI and blockchain really are (and what they’re not)
  • How startups are using these technologies to reduce costs, improve decision-making, and build trust
  • The risks and responsibilities of using AI in small business environments
  • Practical, affordable tools to get started—no coding required
  • How to use blockchain to enhance data security, explainability, and automation



Who Should Attend:

This workshop is ideal for:

  • Startup founders and co-founders exploring technology integration
  • Small business owners seeking to automate operations or improve decision-making
  • Non-technical entrepreneurs who want to understand AI and blockchain without the hype
  • Product managers and marketers looking to leverage emerging tools for growth
  • Consultants and mentors supporting startups in tech-enabled sectors
  • Anyone curious about how to responsibly and effectively use AI and blockchain to solve real business challenges

Whether you’re at the idea stage or scaling your MVP, this session will help you cut through the noise and make smart, informed decisions about technology in your business.
