(VOVWORLD) - Time magazine on Thursday honored "The Architects of AI" as its Person of the Year for 2025, praising their ability to usher in an era of thinking machines with groundbreaking technology.
"Person of the Year is a powerful way to focus the world's attention on the people that shape our lives. And this year, no-one had a greater impact than the individuals who imagined, designed, and built AI," Time editor-in-chief Sam Jacobs wrote in a letter to readers.
The magazine says AI is "wowing and worrying humanity" and changing the world in "sometimes frightening ways".
Time named then-President-elect Donald Trump “Person of the Year” in 2024, as well as in 2016.
