HR 5764 expands the required services of Small Business Development Centers to include guidance on artificial intelligence. Centers would need to teach AI best practices and explain uses such as cybersecurity and customer service improvements. The bill also formally adopts an existing federal definition of artificial intelligence.
The bill affects small business owners who use SBDC services and the roughly 1,000 SBDC locations nationwide. No new agency or program is created.
SBDCs would be required to absorb these added responsibilities without any new authorized funding. Whether centers can realistically carry out this work depends on how much capacity each location currently has.
