Executives Leading the Charge Toward an AI-Powered World Celebrated for Innovation and Impact

PALO ALTO, Calif., June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Constellation Research proudly unveils the second annual Artificial Intelligence 150 (AI150), spotlighting the trailblazing executives redefining the future of AI. As generative AI, automation, and machine learning revolutionize industries at lightning speed, these visionary leaders are at the forefront—driving innovation, accelerating transformation, and shaping the AI-powered enterprises of tomorrow. The AI150 celebrates those who are not just keeping pace with change but boldly leading it.

"We are the last generation to manage just humans, the next generation will manage both AI and humans to augment, accelerate, and automate work at an exponential scale never seen before. Humanity's capacity to do more with AI and AI's ability to imitate what humans can do will require a rethinking of humanity's purpose and mission in an AI World," noted R "Ray" Wang, founder and CEO at Constellation Research. "The leaders on the AI 150 bring not only a right brain and left-brain mindset, but also a deep understanding of how we drive cultural change during this transition. This holistic approach is what sets them apart from other leaders."

Each honoree on the AI150 list exemplifies a deep, forward-thinking grasp of how AI is reshaping our world and how emerging technologies can ignite the next wave of innovation. These standout leaders are not only pioneering groundbreaking AI initiatives but also influencing policy and strategy to tackle the most pressing business and tech challenges of our time. Their impact will be celebrated at the distinguished AI150 induction ceremony, held at Constellation's AI Forum on September 30, 2025, at the Army Navy Country Club in Arlington, Virginia.

"We are standing at the dawn of a new era—where AI is not just augmenting human potential, but fundamentally redefining the fabric of society, industry, and global progress," said Mark Minevich, global AI strategist, investor, strategic partner, Mayfield and president - founding partner of Going Global Ventures. "In 2025 and beyond, the fusion of generative AI, Agentic AI, quantum computing, and autonomous systems is accelerating innovation at a pace never seen before. The AI150 community is at the forefront of this revolution—championing advancing global collaboration, and harnessing intelligent technologies to solve humanity's greatest challenges, from climate resilience, healthcare and economic transformation. This is our moment to lead with vision and responsibility. Together, we are architecting a future where AI empowers every individual, strengthens societies, and drives sustainable, planetary-scale impact. The next chapter of AI leadership begins now—and it is bold and transformative."

The AI150 honorees were selected through a rigorous six-month process driven by nominations from peers, industry leaders, technology vendors, and analysts. A distinguished panel of Constellation's analysts and seasoned experts evaluated each nominee's impact and leadership in the AI space.
