The OpenAI board drama is reportedly turning into a movie
A film that will portray the chaotic time in OpenAI, when co-founder and CEO Sam Altman was fired and accepted again within a period of only five days, is reportedly in the making.
According to The Hollywood ReporterThe film is entitled ‘Artificial’, and this is developing at Amazon MGM Studios.
Although details are not completed, sources Thr said that Luca Guadagnino, known for “Call Me by Your Name” and “Challengers”, is in conversation to arrange immediately. The studio is considering portraying Andrew Garfield to depict Altman, Monica Barbaro (‘a completely unknown) as a former CTO Mira Murati and Yura Borisov (‘ Anora ‘) for the part of Ilya Sutskever, a co-founder who encouraged Altman’s removal.
Moreover, “Saturday Night Live” writer Simon Rich reportedly wrote the scenario, which suggests that the film will probably contain comic aspects. An OpenAI comedy film feels appropriate because the empire of AI has its own ridiculousness, and the events that took place two years ago were nothing less than absurd.
In November 2023, Sam Altman was dismissed from the AI Company and resigned from both his position and CEO and his role in the board. The reasoning was that the Altman board no longer trusted to lead effectively. However, only five days later, after countless discussions and negotiations, an agreement was reached, which resulted in the recovery of Altman.
It does not matter who is poured in this film, it will be fascinating to see how ‘artificially’ portrays the drama and what the overall reception will be among the general public, especially given the increasing prevalence of AI tools such as Chatgpt.
