eBay has launched a £3 million programme developed with OpenAI to give 10,000 UK small businesses free access to AI tools and training.

AI Activate participants will receive up to 12 months of ChatGPT Enterprise, alongside tailored support to help automate admin, create campaigns and improve product listings.

The US giants have teamed up in the hopes that the scheme will boost productivity and give small sellers the same AI advantages as large retailers.
