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. Burhan has supported more than 500 startups, helped scale a community from a handful of builders to thousands, and has a front-row seat to Miami’s rise as a global center for AI, robotics, and applied innovation.

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.

This episode is for anyone curious about where AI is heading, why Miami is leading, and what opportunities are opening for builders in 2026.
