About this course

AI assistants can now draft emails, answer customer questions, summarize documents, and keep the books tidy. This session cuts through the noise with realistic examples from small businesses: choosing the right tasks to hand to AI, checking its work, reading a tool's privacy terms before you paste anything in, and writing a simple AI policy your team will follow.

Open to any business owner or employee. Attorneys and accountants are welcome; this session does not carry CLE or CPE credit.
