"THE BIGGEST IMPACT OF 2025 IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Time editors provided the following evaluations in the rationale for the decision:
Artificial intelligence has taken on a decisive role in all areas, from healthcare to education, defense to media.
AI has become the most discussed, most invested in, and most agenda-shaping technology throughout the year.
For this reason, 2025 has been described as the year "AI transitioned from a concept to a global power."
Time emphasized that alongside the development of artificial intelligence, the following issues have also contributed to raising the bar:
Misleading content and security risks,
Transformation of the workforce and discussions on automation,
Need for ethics and regulation,
Energy consumption and ecological burden,
Changing power balances of technology giants.
The magazine stated, "These architects are not only producing technology but are also writing the rules of a new era."
