Melanie Vearing & Paul Walters, ACS — AI for small business: Start smart, stay safe

Episode description (37 mins)

AI can save your business hours every week, but one wrong click could put your data, your customers and your reputation at risk.

In the latest episode of the Gold Coast Insider Podcast, RDA Gold Coast CEO Estella Rodighiero talks with Melanie Vearing from the Australian Computer Society and Paul Walters, Head of Service Delivery at Ever Nimble and Chair of the ACS Gold Coast Chapter, about how small and medium businesses can make the most of AI without leaving the door open to cyber threats.

They also share why you and your team should come along to this Thursday’s free AI and Cyber Skills Workshop in Southport, where you will:

  • Learn practical, everyday ways to put AI to work
  • Understand the cyber risks that are emerging now
  • Get on top of “shadow AI”, where staff use AI tools without oversight
  • Find training and support to build your team’s digital skills

No AI experience? No problem. Bring your questions and leave with steps you can use straight away.
