A viral image has hinted that The Architects of AI could be TIME’s Person of the Year, but the name has yet to be officially announced.
Speculation is rife that The Architects of AI could be crowned Time's Person of the Year 2025. A leaked image on social media appears to confirm the group's status as the front-runner for the prestigious title.
According to Intel's X platform, the image was found on Time's web server, suggesting that the official announcement will be made on December 11. The news comes as the odds of AI dominating the annual cover continue to rise, with a 47% chance, as reported by USA Today on December 9.
Other contenders include Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, with 18% odds, and Sam Altman, with 13%. Meanwhile, former US President Donald Trump trails behind with 3% odds.
The Time Person of the Year award recognizes individuals or groups who have had the most significant impact on the world over the past year.
