Abstract: The latest technological developments in generative artificial intelligence (GAI) offer powerful capabilities to small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as they facilitate the democratization of both scalability and creativity. Even if they have little technical expertise or financial resources, SMEs can leverage this technology to streamline work processes and unleash innovation, thereby improving their product offerings and long-term competitiveness. This paper discusses how SMEs can navigate both the promises and challenges of GAI and offers a roadmap for deploying GAI. We introduce a sailing metaphor that reveals key strategic dimensions for GAI deployment: competency of employees, effective leadership and work values, organizational culture, collaboration and cooperation, and relationships with third parties. We offer practical recommendations that serve as a useful compass for successfully deploying GAI in SMEs.

Intelligent Mobile AI-Generated Content Services via Interactive Prompt Engineering and Dynamic Service Provisioning [55.641299901038316]
AI-generated content can organize collaborative Mobile AIGC Service Providers (MASPs) at network edges to provide ubiquitous and customized content for resource-constrained users.<n>Such a paradigm faces two significant challenges: 1) raw prompts often lead to poor generation quality due to users' lack of experience with specific AIGC models, and 2) static service provisioning fails to efficiently utilize computational and communication resources.<n>We develop an interactive prompt engineering mechanism that leverages a Large Language Model (LLM) to generate customized prompt corpora and employs Inverse Reinforcement Learning (IRL) for policy imitation.
