TIME's AI list omits Nvidia and AMD CEOs, includes celebrities

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

TIME's 2026 TIME100 AI list has drawn criticism for omitting key industry leaders Jensen Huang of Nvidia and Lisa Su of AMD, while including celebrities like Paris Hilton and Ben Affleck. Huang, a prominent figure in AI infrastructure, and Su, a notable CEO, were notably absent from the list of 'Architects of AI.' This year's list, curated by editor Ayesha Javed, reportedly focused on influential figures driving AI developments, yet overlooked the heads of the two dominant GPU manufacturers. The omission is particularly surprising given Su's previous recognition by TIME, including being named CEO of the Year. AI

IMPACT TIME's editorial choices for its AI list spark debate about industry influence and recognition.
