Sebrae/PR has introduced a free guide titled 'Guia de Tendências – Especial Inteligência Artificial' designed to support small businesses in Brazil by highlighting 10 key artificial intelligence (AI) trends tailored for entrepreneurs. This guide, which includes success stories such as the Toledo-based company I.PRO, aims to help small enterprises optimize tasks, increase productivity, and improve decision-making processes through AI applications.
According to Sebrae/PR consultant Bianca Scharneski, the 2024 Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) study reveals that 80% of new entrepreneurs in Brazil plan to adopt more digital technologies within six months. However, 60% express concerns about AI use, underlining the importance of transparency in AI implementations to build trust and reduce apprehensions.
The guide emphasizes practical insights into consumer behavior and AI's applications like sentiment analysis to tailor marketing and product offerings. Bianca highlights that while technological advances are rapid, consumer behavior tends to remain stable for about five years, suggesting opportunities for small businesses to leverage these trends to gain competitive advantages.
By compiling a comprehensive analysis of global consumption patterns, the annual Sebrae/PR trend guides offer valuable data and actionable ideas to entrepreneurs navigating the evolving AI landscape. This initiative arrives as small businesses in São Paulo and beyond face economic fluctuations, making technological adaptation a crucial factor for resilience and growth.
