Time named the creators of artificial intelligence as “Person of the Year”

Time magazine presented its traditional annual cover dedicated to the “Person of the Year.” This time, the editorial team decided to award the title not to a single individual, but to a group associated with the development of artificial intelligence technologies. The choice reflects the impact of AI on the economy, society, politics, and scientific and technological progress on a global scale.

The magazine’s cover features several figures associated with key stages in the emergence and scaling of artificial intelligence. Among them are Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who played an important role in the development of hardware foundations for training neural networks; Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg; owner of the X platform Elon Musk; and Fei-Fei Li, known as one of the leading researchers in machine learning and computer vision.

The editorial board noted that these individuals and the technological ecosystems associated with them have had a significant influence on accelerating the integration of AI into everyday life. The development of generative models, the growth of computing power, and the integration of algorithms into digital platforms have become some of the main factors transforming the global technology market over the past year.

The choice of a group rather than a single person emphasizes the collective nature of the technological breakthrough. Artificial intelligence is developing at the intersection of science, business, and engineering, where individual achievements become possible through the interaction of researchers, entrepreneurs, and infrastructure companies. In this context, the editors focused not on personal roles, but on the combined contribution of key industry figures.

According to the publication, the influence of artificial intelligence extends beyond the technology sector. AI is actively used in the economy, media, education, healthcare, and security. At the same time, public debate is intensifying around regulation, ethics, and the long-term consequences of deploying algorithms capable of making decisions and generating content.

The tradition of selecting the “Person of the Year” in Time magazine reflects figures or phenomena that have had the greatest influence on events of the year. In different years, the title has been awarded to individual politicians and public figures, as well as to collective images or symbols of an era. In this case, artificial intelligence was represented through the people behind its development and large-scale implementation.

The editorial decision cemented the status of AI as one of the central factors of global change. The choice underscores that technological development is becoming a key element of the global agenda, influencing the balance of power, economic development, and the structure of society in the coming years.
