Artificial, Luca Guadagnino's satirical Sam Altman biopic, premiered at the New York Film Festival with Andrew Garfield as Altman, Yura Borisov as Ilya Sutskever and Ike Barinholtz as Elon Musk. The Verge senior AI reporter Hayden Field writes that the film tracks real milestones — Sutskever's time with Geoffrey Hinton, the 2017 Dota 2 win, Altman's ouster and return — and leans lightly on invented characters because lawsuits and leaked communications supplied the material, while still being darkly funny. The piece also notes a pre-screening remark thanking Neon for "standing behind this film," implying Amazon MGM Studios dropped it in June, presented alongside a mention of Amazon's $50 billion OpenAI investment as statements made at the event.
