Andrew Garfield says the film “Artificial” casts a lens on the people who shape a “new world,” portraying OpenAI’s development across two decades. Garfield plays Sam Altman, the company’s CEO, in a story that follows how the organisation is conceived and grows alongside the rise of AI.
Across the reports, outlets describe the film as exploring themes tied to AI’s growing influence, including ethics and safety, alongside broader questions about power and responsibility. While the coverage varies in emphasis, the central details are consistent: the film focuses on OpenAI and on the creators behind the technology that later becomes widely associated with ChatGPT.
Taken together, the accounts frame “Artificial” as a character-driven depiction of OpenAI’s trajectory rather than a single-time-point snapshot, linking the company’s emergence to the larger impact AI systems have on society.
