Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Indian Journalism in Viksit Bharat 2047

Author(s) Mr. Vikram Singh Bijarnia, Dr Amit Sangwan

Abstract Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming journalism by changing how news is gathered, verified, produced, translated and distributed. For India, this transformation has particular significance in the context of the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047, which places technological innovation, inclusion, human development and citizen empowerment at the centre of India's long-term development trajectory. AI can make journalism faster, more multilingual, data-driven and accessible, but it also creates serious challenges related to misinformation, deepfakes, algorithmic bias, copyright, employment and editorial accountability. Recent evidence shows that Indian news organisations are already experimenting with AI anchors, automated video production, translation and other newsroom applications. The Reuters Institute's 2026 India report notes experiments with AI anchors and AI-generated news formats by Indian media organisations, while also identifying concerns about resources, knowledge, editorial safeguards and public trust. This paper argues that AI should be treated as an assistive technology rather than a substitute for journalistic judgement. For journalism to contribute meaningfully to Viksit Bharat 2047, India's media ecosystem will require technological capability alongside ethical standards, AI literacy, human oversight and public accountability.
