"'We've named not just individuals but also groups, more women than our founders could have imagined (though still not enough), and, on rare occasions, a concept: the endangered Earth, in 1988, or the personal computer, in 1982,' wrote Sam Jacobs, the editor-in-chief, in an explanation of the choice. 'The drama surrounding the selection of the PC over Apple's Steve Jobs later became the stuff of books and a movie.'"
"One of the cover images resembling the "Lunch Atop a Skyscraper" photograph from the 1930s shows eight tech leaders sitting on the beam: Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, AMD CEO Lisa Su, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, the CEO of Google's DeepMind division Demis Hassabis, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and AI pioneer Fei-Fei Li, who launched her own startup World Labs last year."
Time named the 'Architects of AI' Person of the Year for 2025, citing 2025 as the year when artificial intelligence's potential 'roared into view' with no turning back. The selection honors individuals who imagined, designed and built AI and includes both individuals and groups while noting increased recognition of women. A cover image evokes 'Lunch Atop a Skyscraper' with eight prominent tech leaders seated on a beam. Another cover shows scaffolding around giant 'AI' letters styled as computer components. Five of the eight are billionaires with a combined Forbes-estimated fortune of $870 billion, much gained during three years of AI fever.
