Tri Counties Bank Study Finds 73% of Small Businesses Use AI

Tri Counties Bank, the banking subsidiary of TriCo Bancshares, published a research study on how U.S. small businesses are adopting artificial intelligence and what they expect from it. The report finds 73% of owners already use AI—20% extensively—and 83% believe it will benefit their business, mainly through productivity gains, automation, and improved accuracy. It also notes many firms anticipate 6–20% labor cost savings, with AI most commonly applied to marketing content, data entry, and document management.
