The list draws on what The Information does best: deeply sourced reporting and years of experience covering the people shaping tech.

You’ll recognize names including Elon Musk, Jensen Huang, Dario Amodei and Sam Altman. But the list also spotlights rising and less obvious figures — including Asha Sharma, Charlie Kawwas and Jeff Yan — who could help shape the industry over the next decade.

And subscribers can go behind the scenes on how the list came together.

In an exclusive conversation, The Information’s Jessica Lessin and Jemima McEvoy break down:

• What separated influence from power when choosing the 50
• Why some obvious names made the cut — and others didn’t
• The rising founders, investors and executives worth watching
• What the list reveals about where technology is headed
• How an initial pool of more than 150 names became the final 50
