Time magazine’s Person of the Year has a startling connection to the future of humanity.
Time magazine named “The architects of AI” its 2025 Person of the Year. One of those people whom the organization recognized was Jensen Huang. Huang is the CEO of Nvidia, who Time describes as “one of the foremost leaders of the artificial intelligence revolution.”
This news comes as Nvidia became the first ever $5 trillion company, with Huang telling Time, “This is the single most impactful technology of our time.”
Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg was also recognized by Time for creating a chatbot that is integrated into WhatsApp and Instagram. At the same time, OpenAI was credited with starting the “boom” of the artificial intelligence revolution.
In a social media post, Time wrote:
2025 was the year when artificial intelligence’s full potential roared into view, and when it became clear that there will be no turning back. Whatever the question was, AI was the answer.
Person of the Year is a powerful way to focus the world’s attention on the people that shape our lives. And this year, no one had a greater impact than the individuals who imagined, designed, and built AI. Humanity will determine AI’s path forward, and each of us can play a role in determining AI’s structure and future. Our work has trained it and sustained it, and now we find ourselves moving through a world increasingly defined by it.
For delivering the age of thinking machines, for wowing and worrying humanity, for transforming the present and transcending the possible, the Architects of AI are TIME’s 2025 Person of the Year.
This award, given not just to one individual but also with the recognition that we have entered a new phase of humanity, is a chilling reminder of where we are headed. We are seeing signs of the end times accelerating all around us, much of it fueled by AI. Now, it is clear that AI is playing a greater role in our society than we ever could have imagined.
As Time names the Architects of AI its 2025 Person of the Year, we are confronted with a sobering truth: the rise of artificial intelligence is no longer a distant possibility—it is reshaping our world before our eyes. This moment is a wake-up call for believers to discern the times, to pray for wisdom, and to understand the spiritual implications of a technology that is influencing every aspect of human life.
