Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming an integral part of our everyday lives, but is this development positive or negative? This question was at the forefront during the Miami AI Agent Summit held on April 5 at The LAB Miami in Wynwood, where over 250 tech enthusiasts gathered to explore this evolving landscape.
Burhan Sebin, vice president of growth at Atlas Space and founder of Miami AI Hub, emphasized the significance of education in AI. He stated, ‘People are fearful of what they don’t know – but if we teach them what’s coming, they’ll learn more and start to use artificial intelligence in a more productive way.’ This sentiment reflects the overarching goal of the Miami AI Hub, which aims to connect individuals through AI and foster innovation.
The inaugural Miami AI Agent Summit successfully fulfilled its mission by uniting influential voices in AI to inspire discussions around innovation and collaboration.
Can We Trust AI Agents?
Experts from the fields of machine learning and AI shared their insights, with the consensus indicating that trust in AI systems is essential for growth. The first fireside chat featured Clem Delangue, co-founder and CEO of Hugging Face, and Greg Isenberg, founder and CEO of Late Checkout. Their discussion highlighted the importance of experimentation with AI tools and stressed the need for transparency within AI systems.
Delangue remarked, ‘Every day, there’s a new model, new datasets, new buzzwords, new concepts… The best way to deal with that is to experiment fast, and accept that what’s more important is not what you build at one point, but the velocity of your building.’
When questioned about the current limitations of AI agents, Delangue noted, ‘We’re very early – I think we’re going to discover a lot of limitations and risks from AI agents in the next few years. Something I’m worried about is how little transparency and openness there is in AI agents right now.’
AI Agents in the Workplace
The summit also featured discussions on the role of AI agents in the workplace. Founders of various AI startups shared how these technologies can enhance productivity across businesses. Garrett Rowe, founder and CTO of NeuralSeek, along with Lou Mata and Ryan Doan, emphasized that AI agents should assist rather than replace human workers.
Mata expressed optimism about the future, stating, ‘We believe that a future – where agents become as popular as apps on our phones – means that every company will have an agent, enabling them to collaborate and work more efficiently.’
Doan echoed this sentiment, affirming, ‘The goal is not to replace but to upskill… so they can focus on the more important things within their organizations.’
Embracing AI: The Road Ahead
The event concluded with insights from various panelists about the future landscape of AI. Sebin mentioned upcoming opportunities for AI enthusiasts, announcing a larger summit planned for October 11, 2025, expecting nearly 700 attendees and more rich discussions on innovation and technology.
‘Our big goal is very simple, but profound – making Miami a global tech hub,’ said Sebin, reflecting the collective vision of the Miami AI community.
