Time Names 'Architects of AI' Person of the Year
Time Magazine chose 'Architects of AI' as their Person of the Year.
This isn't just about one person, but a group of people who have helped create artificial intelligence.
The editor-in-chief, Sam Jacobs, explained that Time has named groups and even ideas before, like the personal computer in 1982.
He mentioned that choosing the PC over Steve Jobs was a big deal and even led to books and a movie.
Time has also named more women than when the magazine first started, but Sam Jacobs thinks there should be even more.
This award is to honor the people who have made AI what it is today.
Time Magazine named 'Architects of AI' as their Person of the Year.
