Start your AI journey at our exclusive events

Salesforce and SmartCompany are combining forces to help small businesses understand how to implement artificial intelligence (AI) across their operations safely and ethically. 

This partnership comes following YouGov research, commissioned by Salesforce, that found 90% of Australian workers are already using AI in daily work tasks. Yet, just 17% have been comprehensively trained on how to use AI safely.

To help small businesses safely incorporate AI into their operations, we are hosting two events on Practical AI for Small Business – Understanding practical application, safety and ethics in the real world on 21 September in Sydney and on 11 October in Melbourne. 

Learn how to take advantage of the latest tech

This year will forever be known as the year of AI. But it’s still early days for this technology, and businesses are still working out how to implement it across their operations in a risk-free way.

AI can transform every aspect of business, from HR to IT, sales, customer service and marketing. But at the same time, businesses need to be aware and prepared for accompanying cybersecurity risks and ethical considerations.

Attending our events is a great way to learn about all the tools, systems and procedures small businesses can use to help manage these challenges.
