@smallbiztrends: In this episode, we take a closer look at several major developments that could impact small business owners, entrepreneurs, and their employees in the months and years ahead. We start with the eBay Foundation’s new Global Give program, which is awarding nearly $3 million to more than 30 nonprofit organizations across 10 countries. The grants are focused on expanding access to entrepreneurship, mentorship, training, and financial opportunities for underserved communities, including women, refugees, migrants, and neurodivergent entrepreneurs. Next, we examine new findings from CNBC and SurveyMonkey about how employees are responding to artificial intelligence in the workplace. While most workers see AI as a tool that could improve productivity and help with career growth, concerns about job losses remain significant. We discuss what that means for small business owners introducing AI into their companies and why communication, training, privacy, and responsible implementation will be increasingly important. We also cover the SBA’s first-ever Manufacturing Workforce Expo, being held in Florida in partnership with the U.S. Department of Labor and OpenAI. The event is designed to connect students and job seekers with apprenticeships and manufacturing careers while helping small manufacturers address ongoing shortages of skilled workers. On the technology front, Oracle and Quantinuum are teaming up to bring advanced quantum computing capabilities to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. We explore what the partnership could eventually mean for businesses tackling complex problems in areas such as logistics, optimization, research, and artificial intelligence.
