AI's Forgotten Market: Why Trillions Flow Past Small Business

The $5 trillion AI investment boom is systematically bypassing the businesses that need it most. OECD data shows only 11.9% of small firms use AI compared to 40% of large ones, while Goldman Sachs finds that though 75% of small businesses adopt AI tools, fewer than 14% integrate it meaningfully into core operations. This 'ambition-to-activation' gap represents both a market failure and a $100B+ opportunity for solutions that translate enterprise-grade AI into language and use cases that local businesses can actually implement.
