  "account": "Andrew Garfield, who portrayed OpenAI CEO Sam Altman in the upcoming film Artificial, expressed his apprehension and mistrust towards AI technology following his role in the movie. Speaking to Variety, Garfield admitted he felt \"a bit scared\" and \"trusting\" of the technology during an interview. He explained that the film, directed by Luca Guadagnino, depicted Altman's temporary ousting from OpenAI in 2023 and highlighted the creators' limited understanding of the technology's capabilities. Garfield, however, emphasized that he doesn't require AI assistance in his career as an actor, unlike professionals in other industries. Altman, the film's subject, had reservations about its accuracy but hoped it would be entertaining.",
