The New Billionaires of the A.I. Boom; The New York Times, December 30, 2025

 Natallie Rocha, The New York Times; The New Billionaires of the A.I. Boom

 "Most are men.

The A.I. boom has elevated mostly male founders to billionaire status, a pattern in tech cycles. Only a few women — such as Ms. Guo and Ms. Murati — have reached that wealth level.

The A.I. craze has amplified the “homogeneity” of those who are part of this boom, Dr. O’Mara said."
