Running a Small Business in the Age of AI: Legal Risks and Responsible Practices

Tuesday, December 9, 2025
Event Date
12:00PM PST
/ 3:00PM EST

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping how businesses operate — but for small business entrepreneurs, the legal and ethical questions can feel just as pressing as the technical “how-tos.” This webinar will demystify AI for small business owners by focusing on what you need to know to stay protected and compliant. We’ll cover the legal landscape, from intellectual property (IP) ownership and infringement risks to data privacy obligations and transparency requirements. We’ll also discuss the potential pitfalls of using AI tools in your daily operations — including what to watch out for when generating prompts, handling sensitive customer information, or relying on AI-generated content. While we won’t provide marketing tips or business development strategies, we will highlight trusted resources you can consult for that kind of support.

By the end of this session, you’ll understand the key risks, protections, and practical boundaries to keep in mind when using AI in your small business, so you can explore these tools responsibly and with confidence.
