Unlike broad directories, entries here are curated for long-term intellectual impact across research, industry, and public discourse. Selection emphasizes citation frequency, seminal publications, high-profile talks, and recurring visibility rather than social media vanity metrics.
Founders, researchers, policy teams, and strategic communicators looking for authoritative voices in AI and emerging tech will find this list most useful. It helps identify collaborators, advisors, or commentators whose perspectives influence sector-level thinking.
Filtering includes domain relevance to AI and emerging technologies, citation counts, publication record, frequency of keynote talks, policy engagement, and sustained public visibility. We also weigh cross-sector influence spanning academia, industry, and media references.
The list is global but highlights geographic hubs where AI and emerging tech discourse is strongest, such as North America, Europe, and Asia. Regional notes and base affiliations are provided on profiles to support targeted outreach or research.
