Fear of AI is everywhere — but according to Leon Coe, founder of Amplify Intelligence and president of the Houston AI Club, the only way that fear becomes reality is by doing nothing about it. In this episode of The Greater Loop, host Maryanne Maldonado sits down with “the Houston AI guy” to unpack what AI actually is, why compute is becoming the new oil, and how Houston — with its energy, medicine, and shipping muscle — could quietly become the applied AI capital of the world. Plus: who should write the rules for AI, the biggest AI myths still floating around, and why Leon’s boldest predictions for 2026 came true months ahead of schedule.
