Most recently, TIME debuted new extensions of the TIME100 franchise with TIME100 Voices, a new editorial platform dedicated to spotlighting the ideas and perspectives of the world’s most influential people, and the first-ever TIME100 AI list, which inspired a new series of events, with partners including Meta and Intel, focused on finding solutions to create a more inclusive future with AI. With Sibley at the helm, TIME Studios expanded into audio with the Person of the Week podcast which reached more than 150k downloads in the first five weeks following its debut, while continuing to announce exciting projects including a new docuseries with Netflix about the U.S. Women’s 2023 World Cup team.
