POV With SEG: AI For Good

In the final episode of POV with SEG for 2025, “AI For Good" we'll explore how artificial intelligence can be leveraged responsibly to advance equity and strengthen Rhode Island’s small business ecosystem.

We will be joined by Sam Azar, founder and CEO of Ascend Impact Advisors. Sam recently led SEG's first AI Capacity Catalyst Program, a 10-week initiative designed to help Rhode Island’s social entrepreneurs and small business owners integrate artificial intelligence into their operations in practical, ethical, and human-centered ways.

This event will be recorded live and released as part of the POV with SEG podcast series, extending the conversation beyond the room. Have a question for the speakers? Send it in advance to and be part of the dialogue!
