- The selection is based solely on editorial decision and is typically announced in the second week of December.
- Artificial intelligence continued to gain attention due to rapid development and significant impacts on business and markets.
- This would not be the first time a non-human or technology has been recognized, as “The Computer” was awarded in 1982 as documented.
Prediction markets are estimating a 36% likelihood that “Artificial Intelligence” could be chosen as Person of the Year for 2025. This follows a year marked by strong technological growth and market performance led by AI-driven companies. Competing contenders for the title, according to recent data, include Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang with a 25% probability, Pope Leo XIV at 15%, and U.S. President Donald Trump at 7%.
Historically, non-human entities have received this recognition before. In 1982, “The Computer” was selected to highlight the significant impact of emerging technology, marking the first time an inanimate object received the honor as stated.
The Person of the Year is determined exclusively by the magazine’s editors, with the decision typically announced during the second week of December. Although an annual readers’ poll is conducted online, it does not influence the final choice, according to available information. The tradition began in 1927 when aviator Charles Lindbergh was selected following his notable transatlantic flight.
In the past year, AI systems have drawn widespread attention, beginning with the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022. Advancements by companies such as OpenAI, Google, and Alibaba raised industry standards and market valuations. Nvidia, a primary supplier of technology for AI development, remained central to innovation and growth in U.S. markets.
Despite speculation of an “AI bubble” following recent stock market sell-offs, the sector continues to receive commitments from key industry players. Companies including Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Alphabet have announced increases in capital expenditures for AI development and related infrastructure into 2026.
