Larry Ellison appears on Time’s 2026 TIME100 AI list, which names the 100 most influential people in artificial intelligence, with Time’s entry listing him as “Co-founder, CTO, and Executive Chairman, Oracle.” Time published its fourth annual TIME100 AI collection on August 27, 2026, grouping honorees into Leaders, Innovators, Shapers and Thinkers; Ellison is shown under the Leaders section on the magazine’s dedicated hub page. The list is presented as a collection of individual profiles and was accompanied by a separate piece explaining the selection process, and the magazine named a wide set of industry figures alongside Ellison, including CEOs, researchers and policymakers. Oracle’s role in AI infrastructure is one reason commentators flagged Ellison’s inclusion, with news coverage and the TIME profile highlighting Oracle’s investments in data centers and cloud services aimed at supporting large models and enterprise AI workloads. Ellison’s appearance comes amid a period of market and corporate moves at Oracle, including stock moves tied to AI optimism and reported workforce reductions as Oracle retools parts of the business. The magazine also published an explainer, “How We Chose the 2026 TIME100 AI,” outlining its editorial criteria for inclusion.
