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 ideologyHow power, access, and policy are shaped by who controls AI modelsThe rise of autonomous vehicles as a signal of broader AI operational shiftsWhy narrative and trust outperform raw computing powerWhat it means to not become “just a feature” in the AI economyHow 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?If you’re hosting a conference, panel, or founder conversation and want thoughtful event coverage or a moderator who can translate complex tech into human conversations, reach out.
