Time magazine names ‘Architects of AI’ as its person of the year for 2025 • FRANCE 24 English
The six men and two women on the cover of Time magazine are who they have dubbed the architects of artificial intelligence and their person of the year. Among those on the beam are meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, AMD chief Lisa Sue, Open AI’s Sam Alman, and chipmaker Nvidia’s Jensen Wang. We named the architects of AI as uh the person of the year this year because we were really looking at the people who had the biggest influence on this year. According to the magazine, those people have reoriented government policy and altered geopolitical rivalries and become an everyday tool for millions. Today, Open AI’s chat GPT counts over 800 million daily users. Its competitor, Google Gemini, boasts 650 million. Time also pointed to a darker side of AI in light of looming job displacement for companies looking to replace their workers. and darker still. Lawsuits have been filed in the wake of suicides and mental health crises alleging chatbot psychosis. Experts are also wary of just how the tool will affect humanity and if it will affect all of us equally. This technology has a great potential to make things more efficient, more productive to improve living conditions. The question is will it do so on an equal basis? So will it do so for everybody? And right now we see cleavages opening up. Be it between superpowers or be it between family members or be it between people on the countryside and in big cities. The magazine has named a person of the year since 1927. But this is not the first time technology took the title. In 1982, it was the computer.
The “Architects of AI” were named Time’s person of the year Thursday, with the magazine citing 2025 as when the potential of artificial intelligence “roared into view” with no turning back. FRANCE 24’s Simon Moritz reports.

Celebrating the bubble before it pops and takes the stock market with it.
This is going to age like milk.
I get it. This Person of the Year uses they, them pronouns. Finally makes sense.
I don’t like “AI” doesn’t matter which industry use it.
Architects of pointless unemployment
So they decided not to use AI for the cover.
Artwork looks like a Supertramp Cover from the 80s.
