SUMMARY:Making AI work for your small business: Turning opportunity into action
DESCRIPTION:Making AI work for your small business: Turning opportunity into action (with Rt Hon Rishi Sunak MP) \nAI is starting to change how small businesses run and grow\, but many owners are still unsure how to get the most from it. \nConcerns about cost\, trust and risk remain common and are stopping some businesses from embracing AI. \nWork by the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) points to a clear trust gap that could put a £42bn opportunity at risk for UK small firms. This session brings together practical examples and policy insights to help you decide what AI could bring to your business. \nJoin Rishi Sunak and FSB for a focused discussion on how AI is being used in practice and what we can learn from those who have adopted it most successfully. \nWhy attend \n• See how small businesses are using AI in real situations \n• Understand the main barriers identified in recent FSB work \n• Hear Rishi Sunak’s views on supporting AI adoption \n• Ask questions during the live Q&A \nWhat will be covered \n• Introduction: Why AI matters now \n• FSB’s new report on AI adoption: Key takeaways for small business owners \n• Rishi Sunak in conversation with small businesses: Practical experiences and challenges \n• Live Q&A: Questions from attendees \n• Closing remarks: Key takeaways
