The Erie Regional Chamber and Growth Partnership is partnering with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation to bring Small Business B(AI)sics to the Erie region.
This tool will provide access to practical artificial intelligence training to local entrepreneurs. The series will begin in Fall of 2026 and will include a series of sessions.
Small Business B(AI)sics is a national initiative developed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, with support from Google.
The program is designed to help small business owners understand and implement artificial intelligence tools that can improve operations, increase efficiency, and support growth.
The program comes at a time when AI adoption among small businesses is rapidly increasing. According to the U.S. Chamber Foundation, the number of small businesses using AI has more than doubled since 2023.
Business owners who have adopted AI report benefits including significant time savings, enhanced customer service, and new opportunities for growth.
Over the next three years, Small Business B(AI)sics aims to train 40,000 entrepreneurs nationwide through a combination of in-person workshops and digital learning resources.
Participants in the Erie-area training sessions will learn how to:
Build a strong foundation in AI, including data protection, responsible use, and best practices.
Save time and boost efficiency using AI tools that integrate with platforms they already use.
Improve business performance by leveraging AI to analyze operations and identify growth opportunities.
Develop actionable strategies that can be implemented immediately within their organizations.
Additional details, including workshop dates, locations, and registration information, will be announced in the coming months.
