Billionaire Thomas Tull likes to say he realized the potential of artificial intelligence long before ChatGPT helped students write term papers.
Tull cemented his fortune five years ago by selling a film company that produced blockbuster hits like The Dark Knight and The Hangover. He’s now focused on investing in AI startups that will give the US a technological edge over China and looking to raise as much as $5 billion for a fund to back defense-focused firms. One that he’s already taken a stake in enables drone swarms to operate autonomously.
