#129 Will Harris: Are Ai tools Actually Useful?

If you are a small business owner, policymaker, entrepreneur, technology leader or someone trying to understand the real impact of AI on Australian businesses, this episode is for you. In this episode, Dev Singh speaks with Will Harris, COSBOA from the Council of Small Business Organisations Australia, about the future of small business in Australia, the role of AI tools, cyber safety, red tape, data privacy, and why small businesses need practical support — not complicated regulation. Will explains why small business owners are expected to “wear 20 different hats”, how AI can help reduce that burden, and why Australia must avoid creating rules that limit small businesses while large corporations continue to access advanced AI systems. The conversation also explores the “bitcoin snake oil era of AI”, where everything is suddenly labelled AI-powered, even when it may not add real value. --------------------------------- Disclaimer: This video is created for educational and informational purposes only.
