Presidents, artists, pioneers. Every year, Time magazine honors the Person of the Year. This year the prize goes to a technical innovation that is dominating the headlines.
The US magazine “Time” named artificial intelligence “Person of the Year”. “We are honoring a force that has dominated the headlines of the year, for better or for worse,” said the magazine, which has honored first the man and now the person of the year since 1927, explaining its decision. In the year that is coming to an end, the full potential of artificial intelligence has unfolded and it has become clear that there is no turning back.
This year there are two covers: One shows the two giant letters AI (the English abbreviation for artificial intelligence) surrounded by scaffolding. On the second cover, influential pioneers of AI such as Sam Altman, head of the ChatGPT developer, the head of the Facebook group Meta, Mark Zuckerberg, and Telsa boss Elon Musk sit on a steel girder high above a city – an homage to the famous photo of construction workers on a steel girder of the RCA building in New York from 1932. »
