Key Points

  • Local Small Business Development Centers would give training and one-on-one help on using artificial intelligence in daily work.
  • Guidance covers best practices, planning for shocks, protecting data and ideas, stronger cybersecurity, meeting rules, and earning customer trust.
  • Centers would do outreach to let small shops know how artificial intelligence could fit their business. It does not force anyone to use it.
  • The bill sets a standard meaning for artificial intelligence so everyone is talking about the same thing.
  • No new money is added; centers must do this with current budgets, so help may vary by location.
