AI Insights for Northamptonshire SMEs: Key Developments and Practical Steps
Here is your weekly AI update for Northamptonshire businesses, focusing on practical insights to help you stay competitive.
What You Need to Know
This week, the big story is the rise of powerful, free-to-use AI tools. Alibaba has released an open-source image generator, Qwen Image, that rivals paid alternatives, giving small businesses a fantastic resource for creating marketing visuals. However, with greater accessibility comes new risks. We're also seeing a rise in AI-powered phishing attacks that use legitimate services like Google Cloud, making it crucial to double-down on cybersecurity awareness.
Three Useful Tips for Your Business
Create Marketing Visuals for Free: Experiment with open-source AI image generators like Alibaba's Qwen Image to create professional graphics for your social media and marketing campaigns without needing a budget. It's a great entry point into AI. (Link)
Boost Your Cyber Defences: With AI-powered phishing on the rise, now is the time to run a quick cybersecurity briefing for your team. Focus on how to spot suspicious emails and the importance of not sharing account details. This simple step can save you from significant financial and reputational damage.
Find Your Next AI Marketing Tool: Don't just follow the hype. Use expert analyses, like Kieran Flanagan’s review of top AI marketing launches, to find tools that genuinely fit your business needs and can deliver a return on investment. (Link)
Looking Ahead
Looking ahead, the focus is shifting from simply using AI to integrating it smartly and securely into your business. The most successful SMEs will be those who use AI to solve real customer problems, not just to follow trends. We can help you. Go to www.successformula.club and fill in our AI Readiness Survey.
