New York: Indian Americans, Arvind Krishna and Anima Anandkumar, have been recognized among the winners of the 2025 TIME100 AI Impact Awards, which honor global leaders shaping the future of artificial intelligence. The award, introduced in 2022, celebrates individuals who are using AI to revolutionize industries, solve complex problems, and drive meaningful change. The next TIME100 Impact Awards ceremony will be held on February 10 in Dubai.
Caltech professor Anima Anandkumar is at the forefront of integrating AI with scientific research, accelerating discoveries across physics, medicine, and climate science.
IBM CEO Arvind Krishna has positioned the company as a leader in specialized AI, prioritizing efficiency and targeted applications over the massive, resource-intensive models favored by competitors like OpenAI and Google. Under his leadership, IBM has focused on creating smaller, more cost-effective AI tools tailored to specific industries, allowing businesses to enhance productivity without the need for billion-dollar investments in general-purpose AI models, said writer Billy Perrigo.
