Ashton Kutcher, co-founder of Sound Ventures, shared his insights on why he believes every company will eventually incorporate AI into their operations. Speaking at TechCrunch Disrupt 2024, Kutcher explained that foundational AI companies are paving the way for the future.
AI: The Future of Every Company
Kutcher emphasized the significance of AI, stating that it will become an integral part of every business. He highlighted the value of foundation-layer AI companies, predicting that they will be among the most valuable entities in human history.
No ‘Winner’ in the AI Space
While Kutcher is bullish on AI, he doesn’t foresee a single dominant player in the space. He believes that different foundational AI companies will evolve uniquely, making it challenging to pick a definitive ‘winner.’
Excitement for AI Innovation
Despite concerns about AI, Kutcher encouraged embracing the technology’s potential. Drawing parallels to past innovations like the personal computer and the industrial revolution, he expressed optimism about humanity’s capacity for progress.
Betting on AI
Kutcher and Sound Ventures have shown confidence in AI by launching a dedicated fund to invest in leading language model companies. With investments in companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Hugging Face, Kutcher is enthusiastic about the sector’s growth.
Kutcher’s advice for founders? Focus on the people, their expertise, and the market insights—not just the presentation deck. By prioritizing the human element and strategic vision, success in the AI space is within reach.
