## Summary

Transformer partnered with New York Magazine for its annual "Power" issue, naming 26 people whose influence on AI far exceeds their public fame. The list draws on Transformer's reporting and interviews with more than 50 industry leaders, and New York commissioned artist Simon Denny to create portraits of each person. The list's average age is 36, and it is overwhelmingly male.
