Aston Kutcher is a versatile American actor, producer, and entrepreneur who rose to fame in the late 1990s with his breakout role as Michael Kelso on the hit sitcom, ‘That ’70s Show’.
Rare for an actor, but Kutcher is an AI-optimist. He claims that AI tools like OpenAI’s Sora will revolutionise filmmaking and predicts a time where viewers will generate and watch their own movies.
Beyond his acting career, Kutcher has established himself as a savvy tech investor, supporting companies such as Airbnb and Uber. Notably, he is an investor in the AI firm Hugging Face through his venture firm, Sound Ventures LLC. In 2023, Sound announced the successful closure of its $240 million AI Fund.
He’s also known for his philanthropic work too. The actor co-founded Thorn, an organisation that develops technology to combat child sexual exploitation.
