Who this affects: The bill primarily affects small business owners who want to explore AI but lack the technical expertise or budget for private consultants. It also expands NIST's responsibilities and involves the SBA in distributing new materials.

Why this matters: Many small businesses want to use AI but don't know where to start or how to avoid common pitfalls. This bill would create a single, trusted source of free guidance from the federal government, potentially leveling the playing field between small firms and larger competitors who already have AI expertise in-house.
