💼 Sam Altman and Dario Amodei enter Top 50 Most Influential Jews
The Jerusalem Post published its “50 Most Influential Jews 2026” list for Rosh Hashanah: Altman tied for 9th place with Mark Zuckerberg, while Dario and Daniela Amodei of Anthropic took 26th. In 2023, Altman was first, and in the 2025 list he was absent altogether.
🌍 In one list — the heads of OpenAI, Meta, Anthropic, Wiz, Oracle, Google, and Palantir: for the industry, this is a recognition of AI leaders as figures of general influence, based on “physical AI,” OpenAI’s IPO preparations, and Meta’s roughly $150 billion investment in data centers.
👤 For the reader, this is a ready-made cross-section of influence in AI outside tech press: Altman’s trajectory is visible (1st place in 2023 → 9th in 2026), as are less-covered names, such as Wiz founder Assaf Rappaport at 7th place.
