Abstract
Automation and artificial intelligence are transforming the business world as we know it. These technologies are changing the way businesses, including small businesses, operate and compete in the market. Technology advancements have made automation and AI increasingly accessible and affordable for small businesses. As a result, small businesses are now able to streamline their operations, increase efficiency, and reduce costs. In this chapter, we will first look at how automation and AI are changing small businesses. The trend towards automation and artificial intelligence has been fueled by the exponential growth in data, the increasing sophistication of machine learning algorithms, and the widespread availability of cloud computing. Businesses must keep up with these advances in order to stay competitive in the market.
