Global AI Social Influence Top 100 Final List
Authors: XHunt Data & Algorithm Team, Amelia, Denise, Biteye Content Team
This time, we won't look at the number of followers, traffic, or media exposure.
Ask only one question:
Who is being simultaneously monitored by the world's most critical AI decision-makers?
We selected the founders, chief scientists, and product managers of core labs such as OpenAI, DeepMind, and Anthropic as "seed nodes," and through reverse penetration of social graphs, found the accounts they followed most frequently.
The results are quite interesting: the top spots weren't held by big investors, but by people who were actually building things.

Why is this list worth saving?
-
Noise reduction: We filtered out 90% of the "AI marketing accounts," leaving only those who actually write code, make decisions, and invest in projects.
-
Watch the trends: When Karpathy, Sama, and LeCun all follow the same person (like @_akhaliq ), every tweet that person posts could be the next Alpha.
-
Find tools: The list includes many independent developers like @mckaywrigley , who are frontline practitioners in the implementation of AI applications.
