NEW YORK – Time magazine is set to name its person of the year for 2025 on Thursday.
Among those in the running according to prediction markets is artificial intelligence itself, along with tech CEOs Jensen Huang of Nvidia and Sam Altman of OpenAI. Pope Leo XIV, the first American pope whose election this year followed the death of Pope Francis, is also considered a contender, with President Donald Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani topping lists as well.
The magazine's selection dates from 1927, when its editors have picked the person they say most shaped headlines over the previous 12 months.
