“I am pleased to support the AI for Main Street Act, which would allow SBDCs to assist small business owners on how to evaluate artificial intelligence. I commend Mr. Alford and Ms. Scholten for working together on this bipartisan legislation. AI has the potential to boost productivity, enhance customer service, and save costs. While it is becoming increasingly common for small businesses to use AI to streamline their operations, many still do not know how to access it responsibly. If used incorrectly, AI could have disastrous consequences. That is why it is incredibly important for SBA and its entrepreneurial ecosystem to help small businesses understand the potential pitfalls and learn how to avoid them. I am pleased to support this bipartisan bill.”
