DESCRIPTION:You've heard plenty about Artificial Intelligence being a "game changer" across industries   but what does that mean for your day-to-day work? We asked ourselves this question   and how AI could level the playing field for small businesses   and did some investigating.\n\nWe know that as a small business owner\, manager\, or employee\, there's so much you need to keep up on   so when do you have time to learn how to use AI? Today is the day! In this beginner-friendly session\, join an SBDC "AI Explorer"   who specializes in working with entrepreneurs and small businesses   to discover practical ways AI can support your business   without the jargon or hype.\n\nIn this "AI 101" session\, we will:\n\n\n	\n	Demystify the AI landscape   from Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI chatbots to agents and super agents   and share what to watch for if "the tool is free."\n	\n	\n	Teach a simple\, repeatable framework for deciding when and how to use AI in your business.\n	\n	\n	Explore prompt engineering basics so you can get better results from AI tools (and suggestions for improving prompts when something goes wonky!)\n	\n	\n	Spot common AI pitfalls and learn easy fact-checking strategies to keep your results trustworthy.\n	\n\n\nYou will leave this session with sample prompts to try\, tools and resources to explore\, and the confidence to embrace being an AI Explorer   starting today!
