Watch These People in 2018

Corrected

It’s hard to say what the Bloomberg 50 will look like in December 2018. But the people below—nominated, in some cases, by our Bloomberg 50 honorees—are all burnishing their credentials.

 
Kyunghyun Cho
Assistant professor, NYU; research scientist, Facebook AI Research
Nominated by Geoffrey Hinton
 
Cho works in a subfield of artificial intelligence called natural language processing, designing processes to make translation algorithms faster and more accurate. “He’s had a huge impact on machine translation,” Hinton says.
 
Carolyn McCall
CEO, ITV
 
McCall, who takes charge of Britain’s biggest commercial broadcaster in January, comes from EasyJet Plc, which she turned into one of Europe’s most popular budget airlines.
