Small Business Owners With PPP or EIDL - AI-Driven SBA Collections

Inc. Magazine is looking to speak with small business owners Thank you to the mods for giving me permission to post here! I’m a journalist looking to speak with small business owners who received a PPP or EIDL loan and have since had to deal with repayment challenges, restructuring, or collections. I'm particularly curious to know what it's like to interface with the SBA post-DOGE. At Inc., I cover the SBA and am currently reporting a story about how artificial intelligence is reshaping the debt collections process--particularly for small business owners who took on pandemic-era loans like PPP or EIDL. Especially since the SBA teamed up with Palantir for this very purpose at the start of the year. But from what I've gathered, there are multiple stories to be told here. If you're open to speaking with me and being quoted, please fill out this Google Form and I will get in touch: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdmgqV72Ub8POowS0XGGJv-b90mV0d2jvhbFeSTJH5p8WOGgQ/viewform

For this story, I’m looking to speak to: 1. Wedding planners using AI in their services 2. Tech creators and developers building AI wedding tools or websites 3. Couples who have used AI to plan a more seamless wedding Please write to me at [email redacted] #journorequests #theindianexpress

Have You Used A.I. Chatbots for Nutrition Advice? Whether you’re looking to manage a health condition, lose weight or simply eat better, we want to hear from you. As a nutrition reporter at The New York Times, I’m curious to know how people are using artificial intelligence to help with these challenges.

Have you found that a chatbot has helped you to eat more healthfully, or has it led you astray? How have you used A.I. chatbots to find nutrition information or advice? We’d love to hear specific stories about your experiences, positive or negative. Have you used a chatbot for help managing food-related symptoms that your doctor couldn’t help with? Please tell us about it. Have you ever discussed a chatbot’s response with your doctor, dietitian or other health care provider? If so, how did they react?

White-Collar Workers Using AI for Office Tasks for The New York Times

I am a New York Times reporter covering white-collar workers and the ways that new technologies and economic trends are affecting their work lives. As artificial intelligence becomes more capable of completing office tasks — not just coding but generating legal documents, research reports and marketing material — many employers outside the tech sector are trying to integrate A.I. tools into their work. If you’ve begun using A.I. to fulfill your job responsibilities, or if you’ve been asked to do so by your employer, I’d like to hear from you. Tell us how you use A.I. at work. What do you do for a living and how long have you been in this field? How much pressure do you feel from your employer to use A.I. tools? What would happen if you didn’t? On balance, do you feel like A.I. is making your job more secure (say, by helping you work more effectively) or less secure (by reducing the need for a human worker)? Can you describe a specific task that you once performed manually that you now rely on A.I. to assist with or to automate?

US Writing Teachers on AI Impact for NYT Education Feature

For decades, American students have struggled to produce one dominant form of academic writing: a thesis-driven essay, in which students are asked to use quotes from their reading to support an argument. But now, generative artificial intelligence far exceeds the ability of most high school and college students to produce such papers. And there are no foolproof tools that allow educators to suss out whether students have improperly used A.I. In response, many teachers and professors are rethinking what types of writing they assign and where writing is produced. Some are requiring students to write by hand during class. Others are leaning more on first-person, personal writing, or requiring oral presentations or videos instead of traditional papers. We want to hear from high school teachers and college professors who assign writing. How has A.I. changed what you ask students to do, and how? Please let us know by filling out the questions below.

Banking Loyalty & Rewards Experts Needed for The Financial Brand

PLS SHARE ARE YOU AN EXPERT IN BANKING CUSTOMER LOYALTY, OR KNOW SOMEONE WHO IS? I'm working on another The Financial Brand piece, this time about loyalty and rewards, and I'm looking for expert commentary once more. Abstract: Traditional loyalty mechanisms (interest rate incentives and rewards programs) are losing effectiveness as differentiators. Today's customers demonstrate greater retention with institutions that reduce friction, enhance security, and deliver proactive financial guidance. This piece analyzes emerging loyalty frameworks driven by artificial intelligence, protective services, subscription models, and trust-building practices that create sustainable competitive advantages in increasingly commoditized markets. The deadline for submission is the week of the 22nd, so it's a bit of a tight turnaround. I'm looking to lock in interviews next week. If you would like to participate, please drop me a DM, and we can set up a time to chat. TIA!
