AI Leaders Talk How AI Can Transform Business at TIME100 Impact Dinner
Artificial intelligence is transforming the business world in ways we couldn’t have imagined until recently. Just how—and what the future holds—was the topic of a panel discussion at the TIME100 Impact Dinner: Leaders Shaping the Future of AI in San Francisco on Monday moderated by TIME’s executive editor Nikhil Kumar.

The panelists were Ravi Kumar S, CEO of Cognizant, which sponsored the event; Athina Kanioura, chief strategy and transformation officer at PepsiCo, which also sponsored the event; and Jared Kaplan, co-founder and chief science officer at Anthropic. Ravi Kumar and Kaplan both featured on the 2025 TIME100 AI list, which highlights the 100 most influential people in AI this year, from computer scientists to business leaders to policy makers and artists.
