Ethics and Accountability in AI-Driven Journalism Fellowship Launched


Knowledge Networks today officially launched the ERAI Fellowship viz., Ethics and Responsible AI at the AI Impact Summit India 2026, held at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi. The launch marks a significant milestone in global efforts to build AI literacy, accountability and ethical governance within the media profession.

The ERAI Fellowship is an international executive programme designed for journalists, editors and media professionals working at the intersection of AI and public interest. With AI increasingly shaping what audiences see, read and believe, the fellowship addresses a critical gap: equipping newsrooms with the rigor and frameworks needed to report responsibly on AI systems and their societal implications.

“We are at a defining moment for AI and for journalism. The ERAI Fellowship was born from a conviction that the journalists who report on artificial intelligence must themselves be equipped to understand its ethical dimensions, its governance structures; and its profound implications for public trust. This is not a technical programme. It is a programme about accountability, integrity and the future of informed societies. Through ERAI, we are building a global community of media professionals who will help ensure that AI is held to the standards it must meet, not just by regulators or technologists, but by the press. Knowledge Networks is proud to bring this fellowship to the world stage at the AI Impact Summit India, and we look forward to welcoming our first cohort of fellows,” said Sanjay Puri, Founder & Chairman, Knowledge Networks.
