Governor Hochul Announces Membership of FutureWorks Commission
New York just created a commission to train small business owners in AI skills.
That tells you something important: even the government knows business owners are being left behind.
You're not behind
New York just created a commission to train small business owners in AI skills.
That tells you something important: even the government knows business owners are being left behind.
You're not behind because you're not smart enough. You're behind because every AI conversation has been aimed at engineers and investors — not at you, the person actually trying to run a business.
Governor Hochul's FutureWorks Commission is specifically targeting small businesses and entrepreneurs for AI training. Which means Washington and Albany have both noticed the same thing I see every week: the gap isn't about technology. It's about practical, business-focused guidance that doesn't require you to become a developer.
The consultants oversold it. The SaaS tools gathered dust. That's not a you problem. That's an industry problem.
Here's what actually works: pick one repetitive task that costs you time every single week — answering the same customer questions, writing the same type of email, summarizing the same reports. That's your starting point. One task. One tool. Thirty days. Measure the time saved.
That's how a real AI win gets built — quietly, without blowing up what already works.
What's the one task you keep doing manually that you suspect AI could handle?
