Time magazine named the “Architects of AI” as its 2025 Person of the Year, spotlighting the engineers and leaders who propelled artificial intelligence into mainstream use. The choice emphasizes people over the technology itself, echoing Time’s occasional conceptual picks like 1982’s “Machine of the Year.” Analysts said 2025 marked a tipping point for consumer adoption even as concerns over AI’s risks intensified. The decision comes amid heightened attention on industry figures such as Nvidia’s Jensen Huang and OpenAI’s Sam Altman, underscoring AI’s growing economic and cultural clout.
