Luca Guadagnino's satirical Sam Altman biopic Artificial premiered at the New York Film Festival. Onstage, the director said, "[when] someone wants to play God, that's very interesting to me." The film sticks remarkably close to the factual events around the OpenAI CEO's rise and brief ouster, with power as its central theme. It opens with a striking Golden Gate Bridge shot that becomes a metaphor for building all-powerful AI systems.
