It’s actually just a Forbes marketing ploy. Me and my company made it on the list and they gave us an interview and the guy that interviewed us asked “what is ChatGPT?” And he was supposed to be head of like AI at Forbes. I actually think they somehow make money from it by hosting conferences and stuff. Either way I always was sus of it

I know a couple of people on that list. They are mediocre, at best. So that casts a lot of doubt on Forbes ability/interest in filtering membership.

My sense is that you can network/buy your way onto the list.

You absolutely do pay to be on that list, definitely an anti-signal.

“Most trusted brand” lists work like that.
