Mumbai, NFAPost: Raju Narisetti, veteran journalist and a global media leader, joined the Global Advisory Council of Krishnamurthy Tandon School of Artificial Intelligence at IIM-Ahmedabad.
Raju Narisetti's decision to join the institution comes at a time when there is a heightened discussion on the real puzzle of regulating AI in the modern era among the governance parlance. Also, citizens are looking at with wonder whether AI can help improve open knowledge or if it will silently undermine it.
The Krishnamurthy Tandon School of Artificial Intelligence at IIM Ahmedabad (IIMA) is a dedicated centre launched on March 26, 2026, to bridge frontier AI research with business, government, and societal applications.
Expressing his happiness on the appointment, veteran journalist and a global media leader Raju Narisetti said he is delighted to help build an institution that can bridge rigorous research, practical application and broader societal impact at a moment when AI is reshaping all three.
"India has extraordinary talent and technical capability. The opportunity now is to build new institutions that consistently produce globally relevant insights, original research and interdisciplinary thinking — while staying deeply connected to Indian realities," said Raju Narisetti on his formally joining the Global Advisory Council of the Krishnamurthy Tandon School of Artificial Intelligence at IIM-A.
IIM Ahmedabad Director Bharat Bhaskar issued the appointment letter to veteran journalist and global media leader Raju Narisetti stating that IIM-A delighted to confirm his membership.
"We are greatful for our invitation and deeply value your willingness to contributte to the development of the school as a world-leading platform in not just advancing AI, but translating it into systems, policies and practices that create meaningful impact," satates IIM Ahmedabad Director Bharat Bhaskar in his appointment letter.
As a member of the Global Advisory Council, IIM Ahmedabad Director Bharat Bhaskar states that his guidance will play an important role in shaping the school's strategic direction.
"Your experience and perspective will be invaluable as the school seeks to advance translational AI research, bridge academia and industry, and generate knowledge that is both globally relevant and locally transformative," said IIM Ahmedabad Director Bharat Bhaskar.
Raju Narisetti also stated the appointment also brings a feeling which is personally meaningful because his own roots are at the Institute of Rural Management Anand (IRMA), which shares a historical connection with IIMA through Ravi John Matthai — a foundational figure in building both institutions.
"That legacy of institution-building with purpose has stayed with me over the years. Across journalism, institution-building, board service at Wikimedia Foundation, and my current work at McKinsey & Company, I’ve seen firsthand how much institutions matter in shaping not just markets and organisations, but the quality of public thinking itself," said Raju Narisetti.
During a recent podcast with Sanjay Puri on "Regulating AI”, Arju Anisetti on the real puzzle of regulating AI in the modern era and the need for help improve open knowledge, he made it very clear that all are treating AI-made information like it’s free, but the bill will come due in trust.
"The most perilous part is not the showy hallucinations. It’s something more insidious. People stop fact-checking. Institutions stop spending on fact-checking. And confidence starts to trump facts. Before we know it, we’re left living in a world where plausibility triumphs over proof," states Raju Narisetti.
The veteran journalist and global media leader Raju Narisetti made it very clear that Artificial Intelligence makes the cost of information creation lower.
"Artificail Intelligence also makes the cost of misinformation creation lower. That’s the double-edged sword that defines this moment in time," said veteran journalist and global media leader Raju Narisetti.
But Narisetti is not entirely pessimistic as he states that the solution to the problem of information decay can also scale.
"Better systems of provenance, better incentives for quality, and a cultural shift that encourages us to “show our work” again. AI, can help restore trust, if we choose to make trust the product, not the byproduct," said veteran journalist and global media leader Raju Narisetti.
One of the most interesting parts of his argument was about language equity. Of the 7,000 languages spoken around the world, only 10 languages comprise 82% of the internet’s content.
"This is what happens when AI is trained in the majority languages. When a language is not represented on the internet, it is AI-less," said veteran journalist and global media leader Raju Narisetti.
According to Narisetti, multilingual design cannot be an afterthought. "It has to be a foundation. Helping knowledge ecosystems like Wikipedia in hundreds of other languages is not charity, it is infrastructure. If the AI industry benefits from open knowledge, they have to give back to make it stronger," said Raju Narisetti.
