这是 TIME 第四届 TIME100 AI,8 月 27 日发布。下文是总编选评原文对照,接着是四类完整名单。
How We Chose the 2026 TIME100 AI我们如何选出 2026 TIME100 AI
We started the TIME100 AI three years ago with the goal of determining who were the most influential leaders in artificial intelligence, knowing that such a list would serve as a guide for our readers seeking to understand a booming field. Since then, if your experience with AI is anything like mine, the technology has gone from a curiosity to a constant in how we work and organize our lives. It's become a primary way the world seeks out knowledge.三年前我们创办 TIME100 AI,目标是弄清谁是人工智能领域最具影响力的领导者——我们知道,这样一份名单会成为读者理解这个蓬勃领域的向导。从那以后,如果你对 AI 的体验和我差不多,这项技术已经从新鲜玩意变成了我们工作和组织生活的常量。它成了这个世界求知的一条主要途径。
The activity in AI has been explosive and divisive, filled with big promises and big fears. The individuals on the 2026 TIME100 AI reflect the tumultuous state of this field. In the past 12 months, we've seen executives like xAI's Elon Musk take leading AI firms to the public markets; figures like Anthropic's Dario Amodei clash with the Pentagon over how AI tools are used in war; founders like Oracle's Larry Ellison rush to build the data centers the industry says AI needs to reach its full potential; and researchers like Chinese startup Moonshot AI's Yang Zhilin build models that attract extraordinary attention and on occasion outperform the most advanced U.S. competitors. At the same time, a growing coalition of politicians and advocates like Senator Bernie Sanders, labor leader Liz Shuler, and actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt are warning what these changes could mean. "The bottom line is, I think we have to stop the development of superintelligence," Sanders tells TIME.AI 领域的活动既爆炸又撕裂,充满巨大承诺,也充满巨大恐惧。2026 年 TIME100 AI 上的这些人,映照出这个领域动荡的现状。过去 12 个月里,我们看到 xAI 的埃隆·马斯克这样的高管把领先的 AI 公司带上公开市场;Anthropic 的 Dario Amodei 这样的人物就 AI 工具如何用于战争与五角大楼发生冲突;甲骨文的拉里·埃里森这样的创始人急着建造业界宣称 AI 要发挥全部潜力所必需的数据中心;中国初创公司月之暗面的杨植麟这样的研究者做出了吸引巨大关注、偶尔还超过最先进美国竞品的模型。与此同时,一个不断扩大的政治人士与倡导者联盟——参议员伯尼·桑德斯、劳工领袖 Liz Shuler、演员约瑟夫·高登-莱维特——在警告这些变化可能意味着什么。「归根结底,我认为我们必须停止超级智能的开发,」桑德斯对 TIME 说。
This year's list selection was led by Ayesha Javed, who spent months working with TIME journalists and contributors to find the group of 100 individuals who best represent the year's key storylines and who, in our opinion, are having the most influence in driving these developments. Alongside this year's list, we take an unprecedented look inside OpenAI, whose release of ChatGPT in 2022 unleashed the world's fascination with what this technology can do. For a stretch, the AI research company has seemed to lose momentum. Across dozens of interviews, we talked with company executives about how they think they are getting it back.今年的名单遴选由 Ayesha Javed 牵头。她花了数月时间,与 TIME 记者和撰稿人一起,找出最能代表这一年关键叙事、在我们看来对推动这些发展最具影响力的 100 人。伴随今年的名单,我们还前所未有地深入 OpenAI 内部——这家公司在 2022 年发布 ChatGPT,释放了全世界对这项技术能做什么的着迷。有一段时间,这家 AI 研究公司似乎失去了势头。通过数十次采访,我们与公司高管谈了他们如何认为自己正在把势头找回来。

The growth of TIME100 AI is part of a more significant ambition at TIME, as we seek to lead our industry in the coverage of the remaking of the world by artificial intelligence. In recent years, our global team of reporters, editors, and producers has brought readers inside companies like Anthropic, Google, Nvidia, and Waymo; broken news on robotics revealing what the next wave of automation looks like; and reported on the global data-center boom and the political backlash it has provoked, from a remote valley above the Arctic Circle in Norway to frontline communities in Tennessee and Texas. Last December, we named "The Architects of AI" our Person of the Year, a decision that reflected our commitment to covering the leaders shaping this technology and its meaning for our world.TIME100 AI 的成长,是 TIME 一项更宏大雄心的一部分:我们力求在报道人工智能如何重塑世界这件事上引领行业。近年来,我们的全球记者、编辑和制作人团队带读者走进 Anthropic、Google、Nvidia、Waymo 这样的公司;抢先报道机器人技术,揭示下一波自动化是什么样子;并报道全球数据中心热潮及其引发的政治反弹——从挪威北极圈以上的偏远山谷,到田纳西和得克萨斯的一线社区。去年 12 月,我们把「AI 的架构师」选为年度人物,这一决定反映了我们报道塑造这项技术及其对世界意义的领导者的承诺。
To support our continued investment in this work, we're now expanding the presence of our AI team, adding reporters in London; Washington, D.C.; and San Francisco. We're also evolving the ways you can find their journalism. This fall, we'll relaunch In the Loop, our newsletter about AI, with a new format. In the coming months, we plan to expand it to five days a week, giving readers a daily, essential briefing on the industry and the influences shaping it. Next year, we'll build on the success of this year's AI events in Davos, Switzerland; Cannes, France; New York City; and San Francisco by launching our first-ever TIME100 AI Leadership Forum in Washington, D.C. We are exploring additional opportunities to convene the world's most influential AI leaders internationally too.为支撑我们在这项工作上的持续投入,我们正在扩大 AI 团队的布局,在伦敦、华盛顿和旧金山增派记者。我们也在改变读者找到这些报道的方式。今年秋天,我们将以新的形态重启 AI 通讯 In the Loop。未来几个月,我们计划把它扩到一周五天,给读者一份关于这个行业及其塑造力量的每日必要简报。明年,我们将在今年达沃斯、戛纳、纽约和旧金山 AI 活动的成功之上,在华盛顿举办首届 TIME100 AI 领袖论坛。我们也在探索更多在国际上召集全球最具影响力 AI 领导者的机会。
This work reflects TIME's commitment to covering the most consequential story of our time with the ambition it demands—across every platform, through access and accountability, and careful scrutiny of AI's promise and perils.这项工作体现了 TIME 的承诺:以它所要求的雄心,报道我们这个时代最重大的故事——覆盖每一个平台,通过接触与问责,以及对 AI 的承诺与危险的审慎审视。
