NEW DELHI, DELHI, INDIA, February 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Shelly Henry, CEO and co-founder of Moores Lab AIdelivered a compelling keynote speech on Times Group’s ET NOW Global Business Summit 2026 (GBS), held on February 13-14 in New Delhi, highlights how artificial intelligence is transforming the semiconductor landscape and paving the way for a new era of innovation.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi led the distinguished line-up of speakers at GBS, Asia’s premier leadership forum bringing together world-class policymakers, business leaders and innovators. Speaking on the theme “A decade of disruption. A century of change”, Prime Minister Modi confidently said that “Thanks to India’s 1.4 billion people, our nation is at the forefront of AI transformation. From digital public infrastructure to a vibrant startup ecosystem and cutting-edge research, our progress in AI reflects both ambition and responsibility.”

Other luminaries sharing the stage included Queen Rania AlAbdullah; Charles Michel, former Belgian Prime Minister and President Emeritus of the European Council; Sir Martin Sorrell, founder and executive chairman of S4 Capital; David Schwimmer, CEO of the London Stock Exchange Group; and Renuka Jagtiani, co-founder and president of Landmark Group.

Henry’s keynote, “The New Era of Silicon: How AI is Redefining Who Can Build Chips” focused on the profound impact of AI on semiconductor design and development, an industry historically constrained by lengthy, expensive processes and a limited pool of specialized talent. His talk highlighted how AI is dramatically lowering barriers to entry, compressing design cycles, and enabling innovators around the world, including in India, to build advanced silicon with unprecedented speed and scale.

“AI doesn’t just disrupt markets, it determines who can innovate,” Henry said, emphasizing that democratized access to advanced silicon design could pave the way for entirely new industries and position countries like India as leaders in next-generation IT and digital infrastructure.

In addition to his keynote speech, Henry participated in the panel “Innovators Unplugged: No Slides, Just Breakthroughs,” an interactive session featuring leading technologists and futurists answering questions live from the audience. The wide-ranging discussion explored topics including quantum computing, drug discovery, the troubling implications of deepfakes for history and truth, brain-machine interfaces and AI-driven neural mapping, the role of AI in global competitiveness, the future of chip sovereignty, the ethical deployment of intelligent systems, and how emerging innovators can translate bold ideas into scalable technologies.

Reflecting on this experience, Henry noted that the summit format fostered meaningful dialogue between global leaders and innovators, across sectors and borders. He highlighted the importance of collaboration between governments, industry leaders and research communities to shape the next wave of technological transformation.
