GenAI for Small Business: Why the Adoption Journey Looks Different

All organisations seem to be dealing with the same question – “Where do we even start with GenAI?”

But the context behind that question is very different. In large organisations, there are budgets, teams, governance committees, structured programs and projects. In small businesses, there’s you, a small team, and the pressure of everyday operations.

This article looks at why GenAI adoption isn’t just a scaled-down version of enterprise AI adoption – and why small businesses need a different, more streamlined approach.

GenAI Skills Gap: Why Businesses Can’t Wait for Education Institutions

As educational establishments seemingly wrestle with how, or if, Generative AI (GenAI) should be formally integrated into their curricula, the conversation seems to circle around a familiar tension: education versus training (I’d love to hear from people embedded in the education space for their opinion).

One promising middle ground is adding humanities courses that sharpen critical thinking, ethics, and communication – capabilities essential for using AI responsibly. The challenge is finding the right balance so educational establishments can preserve their mission to educate while preparing graduates for the realities of an AI-enabled workplace.
