Google has presented initiatives aimed at helping small business companies integrate artificial intelligence technologies.
The mentioned technology giant last Thursday, September 12, announced that it is investing $10 billion in America’s Small Business Development Center (SBDC), a network of centers providing training and resources to entrepreneurs.
It is worth noting that recently the practice of using artificial intelligence has been scaling up in the area of small and medium-sized businesses. It is also worth noting that in this case, AI is a tool for solving a wide range of tasks.
A message was posted on Google’s blog, which contains information that the announced funding will support the creation of America’s SBDC AI U, which will provide small business owners with artificial intelligence training and tools and will establish AI Clinics at SBDCs housed at university and community college campuses.
Also, as part of the Grow with Google initiative, the technology giant is launching a workshop on machine intelligence. This initiative will help companies belonging to the small business category to take advantage of Google’s artificial intelligence-based tools. SBDC will incorporate this training which includes featuring case studies, demos, and hands-on activities like prompting exercises.
It is worth noting that against the background of the active development and rapid scaling of the practice of using artificial intelligence, the issue of cybersecurity has become more relevant. Cybercriminals also have access to AI technologies, which makes their activities more sophisticated. In the context of the relevant challenge in the security area in the digital space, the personal awareness of users is of particular importance. For example, a query in an Internet search system, such as how to know if my camera is hacked, will allow anyone to get information about signs of unauthorized access to the device. It is worth noting that digital literacy is also a tool for countering cybercrime.
