Parramatta 19 October - Ai & Your Business: The Double-Edged Sword!

Welcome to the Parramatta District Online Business Network - building better relationships.

This week we are inviting all of Sydney to attend our special FREE online lunchtime event on Thursday as part of NSW Small Business Month Integrating Ai into Your Business: Understanding the Double-Edged Sword!

It will show you how to maximise Ai to increase positive exposure and positioning of your business and the pitfalls you need to avoid.

Your Intellectual Property is a key component of the resilience and health of your business, but there are significant risks and legal implications that can damage your business's health and affect its resilience.

This session will arm you with the knowledge to profit from Ai.

It will also guide you through the legal threats to your business health including intellectual property breaches and content vulnerabilities that you can unwittingly expose your business to.

Our Guest Presenters are:
1. Jeffrey Fazal | Business Consultant | Creativus Design |

Jeffrey will provide an interactive demo of Ai and discuss Its impacts and practical usefulness for small business owners. His previous Group Ai presentation received tremendous feedback for the guidance and capability demonstration it provided covering ChatGPt and Bard.
