Miami isn’t just having a moment. It has become one of the fastest growing AI hubs in the world, and this episode breaks down the real reason why. In this conversation, I sit down with Burhan Sebin, Chief AI Officer at eMerge and the creator behind Miami AI Hub.

We talk about the forces pulling founders and technologists into Miami, the cultural momentum shaping the city, and what the next year of AI adoption will look like across agents, automation, and the physical AI wave. You’ll also get an inside preview of the Tech Basel Miami AI Summit and the vision behind Miami AI School, the hybrid program helping professionals build and apply AI in real time.

| How an 11-Year-Old is Building with AI and Making $10K a Month | 04 Nov 2025 | 00:38:10 | |
In this episode of How I AI, I sit down with Lucio Boccardi, he is eleven years old and a digital creator, innovator, and builder who’s already earning five figures a month online by experimenting fearlessly with AI. Lucio’s story is a reminder that learning through trial, curiosity, and persistence still matters. From building a math video game using an AI app builder to generating royalty income from custom GPTs, he’s showing what’s possible when creativity meets consistency. We talk about the rules he’s set for himself when using AI in school so he’s still learning the material, how he built his first Shopify store (and waited two months for that first sale), and how he turned 3D printing into another income stream. His first YouTube video reached 12,000 views. Lucio proves that success with AI isn’t instant.. it’s built through iteration, experimentation, and staying curious enough to find your unique flow.

In this special episode of How I AI, I’m live from Miami during Art Basel week, reporting from the Tech Basel Miami AI Summit in partnership with eMerge Americas. This episode is a field report from the ground, pulling together the biggest themes shaping AI as we move into 2026, from open source infrastructure and autonomous systems to trust, storytelling, and real-world execution.

The closing keynote featured Cathie Wood, Founder, CEO, and CIO of ARK Invest, who mapped the exponential future ahead, including the rapid rise of autonomous vehicles and autonomous systems.

Then, I’m joined by Bora Celenk, Co-Founder and CEO of 4A Labs, who brings the conversation back to execution. We talk about startup survival, validating ideas faster with AI, why founders must avoid becoming “just a feature,” and how small teams can ship real products in a rapidly changing landscape.
