Siam Husseini's AI writes the rules itself
By 13, he was already winning national awards. Now he’s designing blockchain tools that cut out friction – no lawyers, no delays
While most kids his age were gaming or on social media, Siam Husseini was busy mastering system architecture and artificial intelligence. By 13, he was already the Gulf’s top computer science student.
That early success wasn’t just about talent – it was the result of relentless curiosity, self-education, and a drive to build something meaningful. It marked the start of a journey that would take him deep into blockchain automation, quantum computing, and the ethical challenges of artificial intelligence.
National recognition and a bigger vision
“At age 10, I started being curious about technologies,” Husseini told The Crypto Radio. He spent his early teens exploring cybersecurity forums, teaching himself about white hat – or ethical – hacking, network vulnerabilities, and system design.
His self-taught skills quickly gained him national attention. In his early teens, he was awarded the title of top computer science student across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries – a recognition that opened new doors. “That gave me confidence,” he said. “But it also made me want to create something useful – not just be good at school.”
That shift in focus led him toward building tools that could reshape how systems operate – especially in the realms of automation and digital trust.
Merging blockchain with AI for a smarter future
Husseini is now leading Main Core AI, a platform that allows artificial intelligence to write and deploy smart contracts onto blockchain networks. “AI creates smart contracts and automatically deploy it to the blockchain,” he said. “Without involving any humans.”
In simpler terms, he’s building machines that can make and enforce agreements – a major step forward in removing friction from digital processes.
Blockchain, a decentralised and tamper-proof digital ledger, is already being used to track transactions in industries from finance to supply chains. When paired with artificial intelligence – systems that can learn, predict, and solve problems – the result is a system that doesn’t just record information, but acts on it.
By removing the need for intermediaries or manual setup, Main Core AI could transform how individuals, businesses, and even governments interact online. “We’re building systems that understand what needs to be done – and just do it,” Husseini said.
Made in the UAE – and made possible by it
Husseini credits much of his journey to the support he received in the United Arab Emirates. “The leaders wanted the best things – the tallest building, the safest country,” he said. “They built a vision, and now they're supporting the next generation.”
The UAE has invested heavily in emerging tech education and open access to digital infrastructure. Husseini highlighted how free AI courses and developer resources helped him experiment early. “Education should be free. Everything should be free,” he said. “If you give people the right tools, they’ll create something you never imagined.”
He sees this accessibility as key to unlocking innovation – not just for him, but for anyone willing to put in the work.
His ambitions now extend beyond AI and blockchain. Husseini is diving into quantum computing – an experimental field using quantum physics to process data far faster than conventional machines. “Quantum computing actually can help to make your blockchain more secure, to build something more and better and faster,” he said.
Innovation, values, and responsible leadership
Despite the promise of these new technologies, Husseini is clear-eyed about their risks. “The next war actually is the war of technology,” he said – referring not to violence, but to control over systems, data, and infrastructure.
For Husseini, safety lies not just in code, but in character. “If the government focuses on who's behind the AI, we are good,” he said, underscoring the importance of ethical leadership and developer accountability.
His advice to other young innovators is grounded in action and humility. “Always go out of your comfort zones. Your bed should be just your sleeping bed. Go meet people, interact with people,” he said.
Husseini also speaks from a more philosophical place. Reflecting on passive expectations, he said: “God cannot come down if you're praying [to ask], 'Can I come down and take you to a successful life?'” – suggesting success comes through action, not miracles.
And when it comes to motivation, he keeps it simple: “Don't think only about yourself or money. Just go and see what's gonna happen [and] do it.”
