‘Architects of AI’ Named Time’s Person of the Year for ’25

Matzav -

TIME magazine turned the spotlight on the minds driving artificial intelligence on Thursday, announcing that the “Architects of AI” had earned the publication’s highest annual designation for 2025.

According to TIME, this year marked the moment when the reach, influence, and unavoidable force of artificial intelligence “roared into view” and signaled a point of no return in global life and discourse.

In a statement shared across its social platforms, the magazine declared, “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.”

Prediction markets had shown AI itself as a strong favorite for the honor, though individual tech leaders—such as Nvidia’s Jensen Huang and OpenAI’s Sam Altman—were also heavily discussed. Pope Leo XIV, the newly elected American-born pontiff who ascended to the papacy following the passing of Pope Francis, was also floated as a major prospect. President Donald Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, and New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani were likewise among the widely mentioned names.

TIME made waves last year when it selected Trump as its 2024 person of the year after his victory in his second presidential race, a choice that followed Taylor Swift’s selection in 2023.

The tradition behind TIME’s annual selection stretches back nearly a century, beginning in 1927 as editors sought to identify the individual—or, as in this case, the collective—who most profoundly influenced the previous year’s events and global conversation.
