AI for Mainstreet Act

This bill amends the Small Business Act to require the Small Business Administration (SBA) to provide guidance and support to small businesses on using artificial intelligence (AI). Specifically, it adds a new provision directing the SBA to help small businesses evaluate AI for operations - including best practices, planning for disruptions, protecting data and intellectual property, improving cybersecurity, and ensuring regulatory compliance. The guidance will include training and outreach on integrating AI into business workflows. The bill does not authorize new funding for these activities.
