Jared Leto invests in $500M AI startup despite calls from other stars to shut down the controversial tech


Jared Leto has invested in two different generative AI companies, joining a growing number of celebrities with a financial interest in the technology.

Leonardo DiCaprio serves as the strategic adviser for Regeneration VC, a fund that recently invested $1.6 million in an AI recycling company called Greyparrot in February after an investor fell through. Ashton Kutcher and music manager Guy Oseary co-founded investing firm Sound Venture, which last year included companies OpenAI, Anthropic and Stability AI in its portfolio. The open letter was submitted by the Artist Rights Alliance, a non-profit made up of "working musicians, performers and songwriters fighting for a healthy creative economy and fair treatment for all creators in the digital world," according to its official website.
