Why AI Needs Ethics First | Nekia Nichelle & Shekhar Natarajan | Live at CES 2026

Recorded live at CES 2026, this special episode of Tomorrow, Today by SKN features tech journalist Nekia Nichelle in conversation with AI transformation leader Shekhar Natarajan.

As artificial intelligence accelerates at unprecedented speed, one critical question rises above the noise:

Are we building AI responsibly or just rapidly?

In this deeply thoughtful discussion, Shekhar challenges the current AI leadership narrative dominated by speed, valuation, and optimization metrics. Instead, he argues for a people-first approach grounded in ethics, dignity, and long-term societal impact.

This episode explores:

• What truly defines responsible AI leadership

• Why many AI CEOs are optimizing the wrong metrics

• The difference between AI transformation and reckless innovation

• Ethics as a foundational design principle not an afterthought

• Why the real question isn’t “Can we build it?” but “Should we build it?”

• The concept of Angelic Intelligence technology designed to serve humanity

Rather than chasing rankings, dominance, or hype, this conversation reframes what it means to lead in artificial intelligence today.

If you are a founder, investor, policymaker, technologist, or simply curious about the future of AI this episode will challenge how you think about power, responsibility, and innovation.
