🇨🇦 (Before you read this...if you're an Ottawa entrepreneur just learning how to use AI in your business, a special invite/note for you at the bottom!).
AI is a powerful and productive accelerator for small business owners and operators in Canada. Frankly, if I had some of these tools to build my business and grow my brand when I started my career a couple of decades ago, it would have closed some gaps that took an enormous amount of time and energy to fill.
Yes, small business owners in Canada are slow to adopt this new tech. I get it. It's overwhelming, and too often the AI narrative overindexes on fear.
On Thursday, I was honored to help bridge the AI adoption gap in a room full of Canadian entrepreneurs at Intuit's More with AI Tour. We spent 3 hours talking about AI basics, experimenting with new tools, and learning about responsible AI with Yovan Grulovic.
Next up? We're heading to Ottawa on June 9th and Vancouver on June 23rd.
P.S. There are still a few spots left (free registration!) in Ottawa to join us. Link in bio!
😱 Instagram deleted a PEI artist's business account...almost 40,000 with it. Gone!
@emilyhowardthe.real.one can't reach a human for help. It's a common story at Meta these days...and unacceptable.

We moms, dads, aunts, uncles, grandparents, teachers, and guardians all have one thing in common: we're worried about how our kids are using AI.
While we certainly all need skills for our fast future, it's important that we're picky about what we outsource to chatbots and other AI tools.
Here's the first part of my conversation on this topic with Prof G Media Research Lead Mia Silverio. Get the full conversation on this week's episode of The AmberMac Show podcast (available everywhere!).
