How a Founder Uses AI to Improve Hurricane Tracking and Risk Assessment

I sit down with Eduardo Siman, founder and CEO of Worldsphere.ai, a Miami-based company using computer vision to better understand hurricanes and improve risk assessments, insurance intelligence, and evacuation decisions.

Eddie shares how his path into AI started through enterprise software, angel investing, and an obsession with computer vision before eventually leading him into hurricanes and the mission behind Worldsphere. 

We talk about how Hurricane Andrew shaped his personal connection to this work, how AI can translate satellite imagery into hurricane wind fields, and why integrity, human oversight, and scientific rigor still matter in high-stakes AI.
