Pope Leo XIV Narrow Favourite Ahead of AI

The betting market for Time Person of the Year 2025 is heating up, and it’s a tight race between Pope Leo XIV and Artificial Intelligence (AI) at the top of the list according to Ladbrokes.

Following a transformative year for the Catholic Church and broader global influence, Pope Leo XIV leads the market at 7/4, just ahead of AI at 2/1, with punters closely watching developments in both religious and technological spheres.

Ladbrokes odds suggest a 36.4% chance that the new Pope is crowned TIME Person of the Year for 2025 with bookmakers set to offer odds throughout the next few months.

His rise has brought renewed focus to the Vatican in global media, explaining his short price in the market.

What the expert says...
The Time Person of the Year title isn’t just about popularity, it’s about influence. Whether it’s Pope Leo XIV reshaping the Church or AI reshaping the world, both are legitimate frontrunners.

U.S. President Donald Trump remains in contention at 7/2, especially with the 2024 election aftermath still reverberating across American politics. 

Meanwhile, Benjamin Netanyahu and Elon Musk are both 6/1, with their ongoing influence in geopolitics and tech respectively keeping them firmly in the conversation.

The late Pope Francis rounds the top five of the betting market at 8/1.
