Luca Guadagnino's 'Artificial' Portrays Sam Altman as Manipulative AI Mogul in Scathing New Film

Luca Guadagnino's provocative new film "Artificial" premiered at the New York Film Festival on October 5, depicting OpenAI CEO Sam Altman as a cunning schemer willing to deceive anyone to dominate the AI industry. The drama, which draws from the turbulent five-day period in 2023 when Altman was fired and rehired as OpenAI's leader, has become the most urgent film commentary on artificial intelligence and Silicon Valley power dynamics.
