After years of pushing artificial intelligence forward at extraordinary speed, some of the industry's biggest names are making a surprising argument: capability cannot be allowed to advance faster than our ability to control it.

For years, small business owners faced a glaring sales deficit: they couldn't afford dedicated business development reps, pipeline analysts, or high-volume outbound account executives. Enterprise competitors simply outgunned them with headcount.
