Tesla CEO Elon Musk was snubbed from TIME Magazine’s “Most Influential People in AI” list, despite being the driving force behind the company’s self-driving efforts, data collection, and the development of the humanoid robot Optimus, along with other projects, like xAI.
TIME released its list today, highlighting what it intended to be a compilation of the most brilliant names in AI. Those on the list have achieved big things, and the names on the list are not to be discredited in any way.
Some of the names on the list are the biggest in tech and AI development. Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, and Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, are all included on the list.
These are just a few of the names that TIME listed as the most influential in AI, but Musk was not included.
This is despite other names on the list, like Zuckerberg, for example, admitting to recent political pressure impacting business decisions, Musk’s transparency has likely cost him.
For what it is worth, the recognition is no more than a meaningless accolade. The people on this list will not have a big party in honor of this award; they will only take it as a subtle pat on the back and likely get right back to work.
But Musk’s accomplishments in AI are impactful. Tesla has a very robust semi-autonomous driving suite that is supported by AI to become more accurate and powerful. His work has also culminated in Tesla being recognized for its work in robotics as the Optimus humanoid robot project continues progressing.
Musk has also led projects outside of Tesla, like Neuralink. This, in itself, seems like it would be enough to make it on the list, especially as some have already started utilizing it to regain some human function.
