Topics discussed in this episode with time stamps
00:00 – 00:27 “AI is an incredible tool. It’s still just a tool in my mind. It’s an incredible tool if brought in correctly and strategically, and then if trained properly once brought in. And so for small businesses that are bringing in these AI solutions without thinking through those things or even knowing how to think through those things, they’re ending up just creating more noise with stuff that they’re doing in AI versus actually making that impact.” — Sara Nay
