How I AI

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

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

In this episode of How I AI, I sit down with Dr. Samantha Carney and Dr. Daniel Hulsey, co-founders of Atlas Clinics, a modern chiropractic and brain health clinic using soundwave technology and AI-supported insights to deliver highly personalized care.
Both doctors came to this work as patients first. Dr. Sam after years of chronic migraines and post-concussion symptoms, and Dr. Dan after military service left him searching for solutions beyond medication and traditional care. Together, they’re rethinking how chiropractic, neurology, and technology intersect.
This conversation explores how AI is already influencing patient care, diagnostics, business operations, and the future of health.
🔥 Topics we cover:
Why the atlas bone plays a massive role in overall health
How soundwave and radiofrequency atlas adjustments work
Using AI as a clinical and business support tool, not a replacement for expertise
Where AI helps with pattern recognition, rehab plans, and data synthesis
The importance of HIPAA awareness and human oversight in healthcare AI
What’s next for chiropractic care as precision technology advances
Why open-mindedness matters as health and tech rapidly evolve
