AI is reshaping the way businesses operate, innovate, and grow.

The San Jose Silicon Valley Chamber, in partnership with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, yesterday hosted Congressman Sam Liccardo and local small business leaders for an important conversation on the opportunities and challenges of artificial intelligence.

Business leaders shared firsthand experiences using AI to increase productivity, improve customer engagement, and drive efficiency, while also discussing the challenges and uncertainties that come with adopting new technology.

The conversation also explored how federal policy can support innovation and responsible AI adoption while giving small businesses the flexibility and certainty they need to compete and grow.

Thank you to Congressman Liccardo, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and our local business community for helping advance this important conversation about the future of business and technology.
