As AI changes hiring and business operations, professional networking remains valuable for building trust, standing out and finding support. Business Network International CEO Mary Kennedy Thompson says AI tools could enable more solo entrepreneurs by handling functions once managed by larger teams, but human connections will remain essential for credibility and business relationships. Career experts likewise say networking can help job seekers get noticed amid automated application screening, with relationships built both online and in person. Small-business networking groups emphasize collaboration and community support, while a North Durham Business Network event scheduled for Nov. 19 will pair networking with practical discussion of how businesses are using AI.
