00:00The six men and two women on the cover of Time magazine are who they have dubbed the

00:04architects of artificial intelligence and their person of the year.

00:09Among those on the beam are Meta's Mark Zuckerberg, AMD chief Lisa Su, OpenAI's Sam Altman and

00:15chipmaker NVIDIA's Jensen Huang.

00:18We named the architects of AI as the person of the year this year because we were really

00:23looking at the people who had the biggest influence on this year.

00:27According to the magazine, those people have reoriented government policy and altered geopolitical

00:32rivalries and become an everyday tool for millions.

00:37Today, OpenAI's ChatGPT counts over 800 million daily users.

00:43Its competitor, Google Gemini, boasts 650 million.

01:12improve living conditions.

01:17Will it do so for everybody?

01:18And right now we see cleavages opening up, be it between superpowers, or be it between

01:23family members, or be it between people in the countryside and in big cities.

01:27The magazine has named a person of the year since 1927, but this is not the first time technology

01:32took the title.

01:33In 1982, it was the computer.
