"Get ready for OpenAI’s 'The Social Network' movie moment," as the trailer for Artificial promises to capture the drama of the five days in November 2023 following Sam Altman's ousting and subsequent reinstatement as CEO. Andrew Garfield plays the role of Altman, portrayed by many former co-workers as a figure driven by an insatiable desire for power.
The film takes place against the backdrop of Altman's power struggle and OpenAI's groundbreaking achievements. The Pentagon requested OpenAI to design automated tools that would sometimes deny their requests, and the company recently claimed to have solved a 200-year-old math problem, providing its full solution to the public. However, it emerged that mathematician Tristan Buckmaster and his colleague had already made significant progress on the same problem using Anthropic and OpenAI tools.
OpenAI admitted to rushing to solve the equation out of a competitive drive. The movie, set for release on December 25, also features a subplot involving Amazon dropping its partnership with OpenAI in June, following their integration of OpenAI's models into Amazon Web Services.
