HONOLULU (KHON2) — Artificial intelligence is changing how businesses get work done, from handling everyday tasks to improving productivity. For Hawaiʻi’s small businesses, that means learning how to use these tools will help them keep pace with a changing economy.

But where do you find training for how much our employment landscape is going to change over the next year?

The Chamber of Commerce Hawaiʻi is offering local businesses a free, hands on way to get started.

The Chamber said it will host the second Small Business B(AI)sics workshop from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at Pacific Guardian Center’s Makai Tower Conference Room.

The training is presented by the United States Chamber of Commerce Foundation and is open to small business owners and their teams, regardless of their experience with AI.

The Chamber said the first workshop in August brought together more than 20 Hawaiʻi small businesses; so, they plan to continue the series through 2026 and into 2027, with a goal of reaching 200 small businesses statewide.
