Time magazine has announced its 2025 Person of the Year. This year, the award was given not to one person, but to a group of visionaries called “The Architects of AI.” This is reported in a special issue of the magazine.
The editorial team emphasizes that in 2025, debates about the security of technologies have already taken a back seat, and the main focus is on the race to quickly implement AI.
Key figures on the list:
- Jensen Huand (Nvidia CEO) — Nvidia became the first company to reach a capitalization of $ 5 trillion.
- Sam Altman (OpenAI CEO) — turned OpenAI into a $ 500 billion giant and launched the Stargate data center network with a budget of $ 500 billion.
- Mark Zuckerberg (CEO of Meta) — aggressively integrated AI assistants into the company's products (Instagram, WhatsApp) and attracted the best engineers with high salaries.
- Elon Musk (CEO of X) — developed a neural network called Grok.
- Lisa Su (CEO of AMD) — is leading the way in building a software ecosystem that can compete with Nvidia.
- Demis Hassabis (CEO of Google DeepMind).
- Dario Amodei (CEO of Anthropic).
- Fei-Fei Li (CEO of ImageNet).
Time writes that artificial intelligence has already become a major tool of world geopolitics. The technological competition between the United States and China has become even more acute after the breakthrough AI models developed by the Chinese company DeepSeek.
