Description
AI tools are fast, fluent, and endlessly agreeable — which is exactly what makes them risky. They’re built to sound helpful and confident, so a wrong answer comes out just as smooth as a right one. For a small business owner, that gap can quietly cost you money: a pricing call that misses your market, marketing copy aimed at the wrong customer, or “facts” that were never true.
In this 40-minute virtual session for National AI Day, you’ll learn why AI behaves like a people pleaser, where it’s most likely to bite a small business, and a simple, repeatable system for pressure-testing any AI answer before you act on it. You’ll leave with one habit you can put to work the same week — plus a couple of interactive moments along the way to sharpen your own critical eye.
Whether you’re a solopreneur leaning on AI to do more with less, or a business owner figuring out where it fits, you’ll walk away more confident using these tools — and a lot harder to fool.
