The “Architects of AI” have been named as Time magazine’s person of the year for 2025.
The magazine cited 2025 as the year when the potential of artificial intelligence “roared into view” with no turning back.
“For delivering the age of thinking machines, for wowing and worrying humanity, for transforming the present and transcending the possible, the Architects of AI are TIME’s 2025 Person of the Year,” Time said in a social media post on Thursday.
AI was a leading contender for the top slot, according to prediction markets, along with tech chief executives Jensen Huang of Nvidia and Sam Altman of OpenAI.
Pope Leo XIV, the first American pope whose election this year followed the death of Pope Francis, was also considered a contender, with President Donald Trump, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani topping lists as well.
Trump was named the 2024 person of the year by the magazine after his winning his second bid for the White House, succeeding Taylor Swift, who was the 2023 person of the year.
The magazine’s selection dates from 1927, when its editors have picked the person they say most shaped headlines over the previous 12 months.
