UW and Wyoming SBDC Network to Host Artificial Intelligence Products Webinar Jan. 31

Small-business owners may be familiar with ChatGPT but will have the opportunity to learn more about other generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools Friday, Jan. 31.

Paul Johnson, Marree Reed, Izabella Carbert, Ian Moon and Kaeden Adams will lead a Wyoming Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Network webinar titled “AI Products Roundup: Part 2” from noon-1 p.m. To register, go here.

The Wyoming SBDC Network offers business expertise to help Wyoming residents think about, launch, grow, reinvent or exit their business. The Wyoming SBDC Network is hosted by the University of Wyoming with state funds from the Wyoming Business Council and funded, in part, through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration.

In November, colleagues presented their research findings regarding AI platforms that they identified as having sound privacy and data protection policies. In this follow-up session, presenters will dive into the functions, costs and small-business applications of some of those platforms. The webinar will include live look-ins at some of the tools; test a few prompts; and discuss how these AI-driven tools can assist entrepreneurs with marketing content generation, data analysis and social media scheduling.

Johnson is manager of the Wyoming SBDC Network’s Cybersecurity Program.

Reed is a cybersecurity program assistant in UW’s Cybersecurity Education and Research Center and a part-time employee with Institutional Marketing.

Carbert, a UW student from Ranchester, is a cybersecurity program assistant in UW’s Cybersecurity Education and Research Center and a part-time employee with the Wyoming SBDC Network.

Moon, a UW student from Fort Collins, Colo., and Adams, a UW student from Cheyenne, are both cybersecurity program assistants with the Wyoming SBDC Network’s Cybersecurity Program.
