Time Magazine has made a surprising choice for its 2025 Person of the Year. They selected the "Architects of Artificial Intelligence." This is a new idea because they usually pick one person. This award honors the many people who created AI systems. These systems have changed the world a lot. AI is now a big part of our lives.
Last year, Time chose Donald Trump. This year, the magazine picked many technology leaders. This shows a change in what society thinks is important. Time said these AI creators brought us "thinking machines." These machines are amazing but also make people worried. They are changing how we live today.
Time made two different magazine covers. One cover shows the letters "AI." Many different workers are around the letters. This shows how AI is used in many jobs. The second cover shows eight important people. These include Jensen Huang, Mark Zuckerberg, and Elon Musk. Fei-Fei Li, Sam Altman, Lisa Su, Dario Amodei, and Demis Hassabis are also shown.
The AI boom grew very fast after ChatGPT came out in 2022. By 2025, AI was very important. Companies are spending a lot of money on AI. Sam Altman said OpenAI has 800 million users each week. Mark Zuckerberg is adding AI to Meta's social apps.
Experts say Time's choice shows a big trend. They agree that AI is the most important thing this year. It is not one person, but many people working together. AI brings good things like new ideas. However, it also causes worry about jobs and the future. Time chose the AI creators as a group. This means the story of 2025 is about their teamwork.
This award means AI is now very important. Our future is connected to AI. The AI creators have made new tools. They have also built a new part of our world. Time's choice shows we cannot go back from AI.
