City AM’s review of Artificial sees Luca Guadagnino’s film as more than a dramatisation of OpenAI’s early years: it calls the portrait of Sam Altman “terrifyingly prescient”. The reviewer also praises Andrew Garfield’s performance and the film’s portrayal of the tension between Altman and Ilya Sutskever.

That is one critic’s reading, not a verdict on the real people the film depicts. Still, Artificial is making the AI industry’s founders part of a wider argument about how power and risk should be portrayed on screen.

Discuss: Should films about living AI leaders be judged mainly on historical accuracy, or on whether their interpretation captures the stakes?
