Held in collaboration with Preface Singapore, this AIM ASEAN session is designed for MSME owners, startup founders, business leaders, and decision-makers who want to build AI fluency and explore practical ways to adopt AI within their organisations. The session will cover Modules 1 to 4 of the AIM ASEAN Programme in a single structured training, combining guided learning, practical business examples, and facilitated discussion. Participants who complete the session and meet the programme requirements will receive an AIM ASEAN e-Certificate. Why Join AI is no longer just for big tech companies. Small businesses are already using AI to improve productivity, marketing, operations, customer engagement, and decision-making — without needing to hire data scientists or invest heavily in complex technology. This session is designed to help business leaders understand AI from a practical and business-focused perspective. It is not a technical or coding course. Instead, participants will learn how to identify relevant AI use cases, evaluate adoption readiness, and apply AI responsibly in real business settings.
