“What is the image of the future that you see?” “We don’t teach it.

Artificial is basically The Social Network but for OpenAI (creators of ChatGPT which is the worst btw) and its founder/CEO Sam Altman. It’s premiering at the 2026 New York Film Festival then playing at London next before hitting theaters in December at the end of this year. Starring Andrew Garfield as Altman, Anora’s Yura Borisov as Ilya Sutskever, Monica Barbaro as Mira Murati, Ike Barinholtz as Elon Musk, Cooper Hoffman, Jason Schwartzman, plus Mark Rylance as Geoffrey Hinton.
