AI is moving fast, and every business owner is getting pitched some version of AI automation, active listening, conversational AI, or a tool that claims it can replace staff and run your business for you. But how much of that is real? And how much is just a good prompt wrapped in a big monthly price tag? In this conversation, we talk about recent FTC actions, questionable AI marketing claims, and the red flags small businesses should look for before signing a contract with an AI vendor.
