The MI Talks Tech, Safety and Jobs at the AI for the Economy Forum - NAM

Everyone's talking about AI at the economy level. Meanwhile you're staring at a $200/month subscription your team hasn't touched in three months.

That gap is real. And it's not your fault.

Smart manufacturers are finally admitting something the forums and consultants won't: AI only works when it solves a problem your team already feels every single day. Not a future problem. A today problem.

The NAM AI for the Economy Forum made this clear — small business owners across every industrial sector are now saying AI is critical to growth. But the ones winning aren't buying the biggest tools. They're starting with the smallest friction point.

Think about the one task your team complains about weekly. Quoting. Scheduling. Follow-up emails. That's your starting point. Not a platform overhaul. Not a six-month rollout. One problem, one tool, measurable result within 30 days.

That's how you go from "we bought that thing nobody uses" to "we actually saved eight hours a week."

Here's your action: Write down the single most repeated manual task in your business this week. Just write it down. That list is your AI roadmap — no consultant required.

What's the one task you wish AI could take off your plate right now?
