Time magazine has chosen "Architects of AI" as its Person of the Year 2025.
The magazine said it opted to recognize artificial intelligence's vast influence across society, from media to politics to the workforce.
"This was the year when artificial intelligence’s full potential roared into view, and when it became clear that there will be no turning back or opting out. Whatever the question was, AI was the answer," said Sam Jacobs, Time's editor-in-chief.
One of the publication's two magazine covers for its person of the year issue includes tech leaders like Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.
Time's annual person of the year selection is a tradition that dates back to 1927. Over the years, the magazine has recognized public figures including celebrities, activists and politicians with the award. Last year, President Donald Trump received the title on the heels of the presidential election. He was also given the recognition in 2016.
