Politicians must confront artificial intelligence - Daily Herald

The headlines say AI is coming for jobs. But most business owners I talk to have a different problem entirely.

They're not worried about automation. They're staring at a SaaS subscription they forgot to cancel and wondering why nobody on the team touched it after month one.

That's not a tech failure. That's a fit failure.

Here's what the AI debate in Washington misses completely: small businesses don't need a policy solution. They need one clear answer to one clear question — which specific problem in my business can AI solve this month?

The owners winning with AI right now didn't buy the biggest platform. They picked the smallest, most annoying task in their operation — something repetitive, time-consuming, low-stakes if it goes wrong — and let AI handle just that one thing.

That's the whole strategy. Start ugly. Start small. Prove it works before you scale it.

Pick one task your team does more than five times a week that follows a predictable pattern. That's your first AI candidate. Not your whole business. Just that one task.

Thirty days of that beats thirty months of strategy decks.

What's one task in your business that feels too small to automate but eats more time than it should?
