SUMMARY:Ontario Chamber of Commerce | How Small Businesses Can Thrive in the Age of AI
DESCRIPTION:Participants will learn practical approaches to strengthening decision-making\, redesigning workflows\, and more with AI. \nArtificial intelligence has the potential to change business faster than most organizations can absorb it.
