what happened
Goldman Sachs has announced a new $500 million package for small businesses. The funds will go toward an institute that will teach U.S. entrepreneurs to work with artificial intelligence and provide them with tools. Partners include Anthropic, Google, Meta and OpenAI, the bank said on Thursday, according to Dow Jones Newswires.
The institute will also research how small businesses use AI and help widen access to financing enabled by AI tools. Chief Executive David Solomon said: "Every major technology shift has rewarded the businesses that adapt most quickly. This commitment makes sure the entrepreneurs who are creating America's jobs can lead in the AI economy."
The bank says it has run its 10,000 Small Businesses program since 2010, a $1.25 billion commitment through which nearly 20,000 entrepreneurs have completed training.
why it matters
