SCORE AI Tool Security for Small Business

Event description

Chat assistants, meeting notetakers, and AI features switched on by default inside software you already pay for: AI is in your business today, whether or not anyone chose it. That is not a problem to punish. It is a signal your team is finding value. The job is to make that use safe, and it is more manageable than it sounds. This plain-language session is built for small business owners and office managers, not IT specialists. In one hour you will learn: – The six places AI is probably running in your company right now, including the tools nobody mentioned.

• The five risks that actually matter for a small business: sensitive data entering free tools, shadow AI, vendor data practices, account sprawl, and unreviewed output
• Seven safeguards you can put in place in 30 days, with little or no new spending
• Why AI needs its own one-page acceptable use policy, separate from your standard acceptable use policy
• When informal rules stop being enough, and what customers, contracts, and insurers will ask for next

Every attendee receives a seven-point checklist and a one-page AI use policy starter template, ready to put to work the same week.
