🏗️The Architects of AI, TIME magazine's "Person of the Year”

TIME magazine announced yesterday, Thursday, December 11, 2025, its highly anticipated "Person of the Year" 2025 selection, and the chosen ones are "the architects of AI."

TIME considers that business leaders such as Jensen Huang (Nvidia), Sam Altman (OpenAI), Mark Zuckerberg (Meta), Elon Musk (xAI), Masayoshi Son (SoftBank), Robin Li (Baidu), Dario Amodei (Anthropic), Lisa Su (AMD), and Demis Hassabis (DeepMind) have made the technical and business decisions that have enabled AI to become a transformative global force.

Specifically, the colossal investments in chips and data centers or the development and deployment of models that these AI "architects" have driven are reshaping the economy, infrastructure, and people's daily lives.

TIME has launched this edition with two different covers: one is illustrated with people building the letters AI, including some of the leaders mentioned; the other is a photo montage inspired by the famous photograph "Lunch Atop a Skyscraper" featuring some of the "architects of AI."

🍝 Discover UNESCO's intangible cultural heritage, which Italian cuisine has just joined

This week UNESCO is holding in New Delhi (India) the 20th session of the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage. There, a total of 67 nominations submitted by 77 countries are being examined for inscription on UNESCO's intangible cultural heritage lists.

These lists, which we invite you to discover from Hoy en internet, are, as UNESCO notes, "a powerful preservation tool" for intangible cultural heritage around the world.

Among the nominations that have already been approved in recent days is, for example, Italian cuisine, recognized as "a model of sociocultural identity" and "an emotional legacy."

The complete list of the more than 800 elements recognized by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage can be accessed in two ways:

• Through a list that allows filtering by countries, among other options

• Through an interactive visual format

UNESCO is the United Nations organization that promotes cooperation in education, science, culture and communication to foster peace throughout the world.

🤔 Express Quiz

Yahoo! is one of the companies with the longest history on the internet. It received this name from its founders, Jerry Yang and David Filo, in 1994. They were inspired by some strange animals, the yahoos, that appear in Jonathan Swift's novel "Gulliver's Travels." But Yang and Filo also said that Yahoo worked as an acronym.

In last week's quiz we asked about the number of paying subscribers Netflix currently has worldwide. The correct answer was just over 300 million.
