Google has partnered with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to launch a million initiative supporting small businesses in adopting artificial intelligence. The new program, called “Small Business B(AI)sics,” aims to train 40,000 entrepreneurs across the United States on practical AI tools for marketing, productivity, and customer engagement.

The collaboration combines Google’s technical expertise with the Chamber’s national network of local business associations, offering in-person workshops, online courses, and funding for pilot projects integrating AI into daily operations.

Business Impact for SMEs

This initiative reduces the financial and technical barriers small firms face when adopting AI. Free training and small grants will help entrepreneurs automate marketing, logistics, and customer service — enhancing efficiency and competitiveness against larger firms.
