About Knowledge Networks
Knowledge Networks (KN) is an US headquartered organisation that runs education and dialogue programs for the people who shape how artificial intelligence is built, regulated, and reported. Our participants are national ministers, parliamentarians, judges, journalists, and Fortune 500 AI leaders. These are the decision-makers whose choices set the rules for AI in society.
We work across five flagship programs: The AI Cabinet (peer dialogue for ministers responsible for national AI policy), the NOMAI Fellowship (AI governance training for sitting lawmakers), AI on the Bench (an educational fellowship for judges on AI in the courts), the ERAI Fellowship (ethics and responsible-AI training for working journalists), and CAIO Connect (a podcast and peer network for enterprise Chief AI Officers).
Everything we do rests on a single principle: education, not influence. Our programs carry no lobbying, no partisanship, and no brokering of access. That is exactly why the officials and experts in them trust us, and that standard is what an Ambassador represents.
About the Role
We are selecting one Global Ambassador per innovation hub worldwide: roughly 70 emerging AI leaders across 70+ cities for the Class of 2026. Ambassadors are people already active in shaping their local AI ecosystem who want to represent KN's mission where they live.
This is a voluntary, part-time representative role, not a paid position. It runs on a simple quarterly rhythm: a defined set of contributions from you, matched by a defined set of benefits from KN, reviewed together every quarter. Quality of engagement matters far more than volume.
Roles & Responsibilities
Each quarter, an Ambassador is expected to:
- Represent locally: Host, co-host, or formally represent KN at one AI-related event or gathering in your city.
- Refer, don't recruit: Point qualified people toward the right KN programs, based only on our published eligibility criteria. Ambassadors play no role in who is selected.
- Share one insight: Write one short insight or note on what is happening in your city's AI governance landscape.
- Follow the Ambassador Code: Nonpartisan conduct, no lobbying, and no arranging or implying introductions to officials. The credential is a mark of the mission, never a pass to anyone's door.
What You Gain
- Recognised credential: A verified KN Global Ambassador credential and LinkedIn badge, with Class of 2026 recognition, renewed each year on contribution.
- Certification: Complimentary RALC Foundations certification in responsible AI leadership, with preferred pricing on higher tiers.
- Ongoing training: Quarterly AI governance masterclasses plus media and communications training, the working skills of an AI governance leader.
- Event access: Delegate access to select KN-hosted and curated events, including the AI Policy Summit at Ai4 and the annual Ambassador Summit.
- A platform: Feature opportunities through RegulatingAI and consideration for podcast participation, under the same editorial criteria as anyone else.
- Global community: A standing peer network of Ambassadors across 70+ cities, plus early access to KN's published research.
Who We're Looking For
Emerging AI leaders and speakers, across policy, technology, law, media, academia, or enterprise, typically with 5 to 10 years of professional experience. We are looking for people already contributing to the AI conversation in their city who want to carry a credible, non-partisan mission forward. If that is you, your city's seat may still be open.
