We’re thrilled to unveil the 2025–2026 Artificial Intelligence 150 (AI150), a distinguished group of executive leaders who are setting the pace for enterprise AI transformation.
The AI150 honorees aren’t just navigating the AI revolution — they’re driving it. These bold, forward-thinking leaders are redefining what’s possible in enterprise AI, harnessing the power of Generative AI, automation, and machine learning to accelerate innovation, scale intelligent systems, and reimagine business models across industries.
As the role of AI continues to evolve from a supporting function to a strategic driver, these executives are laying the groundwork for a new C-suite frontier — many of them pioneering the role of Chief AI Officer. Their leadership reflects a deep understanding of both disruptive technologies and the strategic imperatives of digital transformation, balancing innovation with governance, and shareholder value with long-term vision.

Why it Matters
The AI150 isn’t just a list, it’s a reflection of where AI is headed. These leaders are shaping the next decade of transformation across industries, from healthcare and energy to financial services, retail, manufacturing, and beyond. Their work is redefining customer experiences, policy frameworks, business models, and even the nature of work itself.
“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."
The Selection Process
Over the past six months, we received hundreds of nominations from peers, analysts, tech vendors, and industry influencers. After a rigorous vetting process, the final honorees were selected based on:
- Proven impact of AI initiatives
- Innovation in enterprise AI strategies
- Influence within their organization and industry
- Commitment to ethical and responsible AI development
What’s Next
The AI150 is more than a recognition, it’s a growing, year-round community. Honorees will engage in exclusive roundtables, research initiatives, and closed-door innovation briefings to help shape the conversation on enterprise AI’s most pressing opportunities and risks.
We’ll be celebrating these trailblazers at the AI150 Induction Ceremony during the Constellation AI Forum, taking place on September 30, 2025, at the historic Army Navy Country Club in Arlington, Virginia.
