    Harnessing AI for SMBs: We Have the Technology

    The Lighthouse IT Podcast - March 6th, 2026 In this Lighthouse IT Solutions podcast episode, we discuss why small businesses may benefit from AI faster than large corporations, focusing on what large language models (LLMs) are, how chatbots work beyond “a fancy Google,” and why AI can hallucinate or overly agree with users. We explain tokenization and context, then contrast chatbots with agents that can take actions via tools and APIs, such as automating invoicing and other back-office workflows. Our conversation really highlights major risks like data privacy, shadow AI, hallucinations, and prompt injection, urging businesses to implement AI with a security-first mindset and human auditing. Start with repetitive, rule-based tasks, measuring ROI, and not “automating a mess.” Don't miss out on our discussions and more! https://hub.lighthousesol.com/blog/lighthouse-podcast-2/harnessing-ai-for-smbs-we-have-the-technology-456 And if you are ready to explore AI for your business?
