    How a 14 Year Old Student is Building with AI at Alpha School

    I sat down with Ali Romman, a 14-year-old freshman at Alpha School in Austin who’s already using AI like a co-founder. He’s vibe coding an MVP in public and building an AI-powered tool that helps people design and buy the right gaming PC, even if they know nothing about computers. This conversation is a real look at what kids are facing right now: AI in schools, cheating vs learning, what guardrails actually work, and why the new “gap” isn’t access to tools, it’s curiosity, initiative, and how fast you can learn. Topics we cover: AI isn’t “coming”, it’s already in the classroom: what that actually looks like day-to-day Cheating vs learning: where Ali draws the line and why boundaries matter College and how AI is changing the value of traditional education Vibe coding a real MVP: how Ali’s building a PC configurator + chatbot Building in public at 14: confidence, pressure, and learning at startup speed Fail fast mindset: getting beta testers and feedback instead of guessing forever Tools, Platforms, and References Mentioned: ChatGPT, Gemini 3 Pro, Claude 4.5 Opus Alpha School (https://alpha.school/) Cline (VS Code extension) (https://cline.bot/) Cursor “Fail Fast, Fail Often” (book) (https://www.amazon.com/Fail-Fast-Often-Losing-Help/dp/0399166254) Who this episode is for: Founders and builders who want a glimpse of what the next generation is actually doing with AI Parents trying to navigate “should my kid use AI?” (spoiler: they already are) Educators and school leaders thinking about ethical AI policies and real guardrails Anyone who needs proof that you don’t need permission, credentials, or a CS degree to build now Ready to cut through the AI overwhelm?

    How an MIT Research Scientist Makes AI Useful

    I sit down with Bryan Reimer, Ph.D., a Research Scientist at MIT who leads research on human-centered technology at the intersection of AI, human behavior, mobility, and public policy. Bryan has spent over two decades studying how people actually behave inside complex systems, especially in cars, organizations, and high-stakes environments where “automation” can help… or quietly make things worse. Topics we cover: Why companies rush into “AI strategy” without defining the use case or ROI Tech-first vs consumer-first thinking and how to design for real humans Why observation beats assumptions when building for behavior change “Copilot, not autopilot”: how Bryan uses AI without giving up authorship Using ChatGPT as a communications teammate for editing, tone, and clarity The hidden problem of “work slop” and how AI can help interpret messy writing Why incentivizing AI adoption inside companies actually matters Skill atrophy: what we lose when we automate too much, and what we should build instead Tools, Platforms, and References Mentioned: ChatGPT OpenAI’s AI Leadership Guide GM Super Cruise, Tesla Autopilot How to Make AI Useful (book, co-authored with futurist Magnus Lindkvist) Who this episode is for: Founders and operators building AI into products or teams Leaders trying to create an AI strategy that actually makes sense Anyone navigating trust, safety, and ethics in automation Builders who care about human behavior, not just features Learn more about Bryan Reimer: Book: How to Make AI Useful (available on Amazon) Bryan Reimer on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bryan-reimer Ready to cut through the AI overwhelm?

    How a CTO and Founder Uses AI to Cut Cloud Waste

    I sit down with Leon Kuperman, CTO and Co-Founder of CAST AI, right after his keynote at the Miami AI Summit during Art Basel Week. Leon brings over 20 years of experience across software engineering, cybersecurity, and infrastructure at scale. After selling his first company to Oracle, he now focuses on one of the most overlooked forces shaping the AI economy: how efficiently we run what we build. If you’re building with AI, scaling a product, or trying to understand what’s really happening under the hood of the modern cloud stack, this episode will change how you think about growth. Topics we cover: What Kubernetes actually is and why it matters for AI-powered products How workload rightsizing reduces cloud waste, energy use, and spend Why cloud overprovisioning has become an industry-wide problem How startup velocity is increasing with smaller, more technical teams When founders should stop relying on third-party AI APIs Why security and compliance must be built in from day one What Application Performance Automation (APA) unlocks in 2026 Tools, Platforms, and References Mentioned: Coursera (machine learning foundations) CAST AI Kubernetes Cost Benchmark Report Kubernetes AWS startup credits Google Cloud Platform startup programs Microsoft Azure startup programs PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) Amazon Rufus (AI-assisted shopping agent) The Lean Startup (book) Who this episode is for: Founders building or scaling AI-powered products CTOs, engineers, and technical leaders running cloud workloads Startups navigating cloud costs and infrastructure decisions Operators focused on efficiency, margins, and sustainability Anyone curious about how AI actually runs behind the scenes Learn more about CAST AI: Website: cast.ai Trust & Security: trust.cast.ai LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/cast-ai/ Ready to cut through the AI overwhelm?

    Open Source, Autonomy, and AI’s Next Wave (Live from Miami AI Summit)

    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. I start by sharing my key takeaways from the opening and closing keynote talks. The opening keynote focused on why the future of AI is open source, featuring insights from Clem Delangue of Hugging Face alongside leaders shaping the next generation of AI infrastructure. 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. From there, I share two live sit-down interviews recorded at the summit. First, I sit down with Sherrell Dorsey, host of TED Tech, to talk about narrative as strategy, why trust matters more than raw computing power, and how storytelling remains the most powerful technology we have as AI becomes more ubiquitous. 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. This episode connects the macro future of AI with the human realities of building, adapting, and staying relevant in 2026 and beyond. 🔥 Topics we cover: Why open source is infrastructure, not ideology How power, access, and policy are shaped by who controls AI models The rise of autonomous vehicles as a signal of broader AI operational shifts Why narrative and trust outperform raw computing power What it means to not become “just a feature” in the AI economy How startups and solopreneurs can validate ideas faster with AI 🔗 Connect & Learn More: Hugging Face: https://huggingface.co/ ARK Invest: https://ark-invest.com/ Sherrell Dorsey: https://www.sherrelldorsey.com/ Bora Celenk at 4A Labs: https://4alabs.com/ eMerge Americas (Miami, April 22–24, 2026): https://emergeamericas.com/ Leela Quantum Tech for EMF support 🎙 Want event coverage or a moderator in Miami?
