"TIME Magazine announced that its 2025 Person of the Year is the collective "Architects of AI." But Chicago-based illustrator Jason Seiler's representation of a handful of those honored for the magazine cover has generated more ire than the selection itself. While none of us are happy to see Elon Musk's face associated with the award for the second time, many are taking aim at Seiler's reimagining of one of the most famous historical photographs in the world."
TIME Magazine named the collective "Architects of AI" as its 2025 Person of the Year. Chicago-based illustrator Jason Seiler recreated the 1932 "Lunch Atop a Skyscraper" photograph by replacing 11 Depression-era construction workers with prominent AI figures including Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Mark Zuckerberg, Jensen Huang, Lisa Su, Demis Hassabis, Dario Amodei, and Fei-Fei Li. The cover shows the tech leaders in sports jackets and cardigans, holding laptops and iPhones, a purple-hued Musk among them, suspended over Manhattan. The depiction prompted public criticism aimed more at the reimagined image than the selection, with observers noting the contrast between billionaire executives and the original workers.
