PayPal & Anthropic launch AI course for small firms - CFOtech Asia

You bought the AI tool. Nobody used it. $200/month gone.

That's not a you problem. That's a training problem.


PayPal and Anthropic just released a free AI course built specifically for small business owners. Not developers. Not enterprise teams. You.

That stat they led with? 73% of small firms say they lack the tools to adopt AI. But dig one layer deeper — it's not really about tools. It's about knowing what to do with them once you have them.


This is why so many AI investments go cold. The software gets bought. The team gets access. And then nothing changes, because nobody showed anyone how it fits into the actual work.


The gap isn't budget. It's not even technology. It's the bridge between "we have AI" and "we use AI."


One practical step: before spending another dollar on any AI tool, spend one hour on a free course like this one. Not to become an expert. Just to get clear on which business problem you're actually trying to solve first. That clarity is worth more than any software subscription.


What's the biggest reason AI tools stall out in your business — is it the tool itself, or how it gets introduced to the team?
