Rene Clayton AI

AI Expert Helps Small Businesses Adapt to the New AI-Powered Economy

Member News & Press

ST. PETERSBURG, FL – In case you missed it in the national news cycle last week, local technology leader and AI advocate Rene Clayton has launched a new initiative to help St. Petersburg small businesses safely navigate the shifting, AI-powered economy.  

While large corporations rapidly deploy advanced automation, many small to mid-sized businesses face significant barriers to entry, including compliance risks, technical complexity, and data privacy concerns. This initiative aims to bridge that gap by providing local entrepreneurs with secure, high-governance AI strategies.  

"AI shouldn't just be a luxury for enterprise-level corporations," says Clayton. "Our goal is to bring practical, security-first "Human-in-the-loop" AI frameworks directly to the St. Pete business community so they can confidently scale, optimize workflows, and build measurable value without sacrificing data integrity or compliance."
