At a recent meeting of The Presidents Forum, the members spent considerable time discussing Open AI and its GPT-4. Everyone else seemed to use it, but the members questioned how they could get started and take advantage of its benefits.
Incorporating AI into a business can be a valuable way to improve the quality of the company’s offerings and add value to its clients. However, many small businesses need help getting started and taking advantage of the benefits of AI.

To get started with AI, small companies can follow some simple steps, such as identifying areas where AI can have the most significant impact, exploring off-the-shelf solutions tailored to their industry, leveraging data analytics tools, investing in staff training, and starting small and gradually scaling up. While these steps may seem daunting, many resources, such as AI consultants, online training programs, and toolkits, are available to help small businesses integrate AI into their operations.

Small businesses, like the members of The Presidents Forum, can successfully integrate AI into their operations and gain a competitive edge by taking advantage of these resources and adopting a systematic approach to AI implementation. While this sounds easy, getting started is always the most challenging part. Indeed, this discussion will continue with each meeting.
