Тэрээр “Artificial” киноны хэлэлцүүлгийн үеэр Алтманы талаарх анхны сэтгэгдлээ хуваалцав.
“Челленжерс” киногоор танигдсан найруулагч Лука Гуаданьиногийн “Artificial” намтарчилсан кинонд Эндрю Гарфилд OpenAI-ийн гүйцэтгэх захирал Сэм Алтманы дүрийг бүтээжээ. Гарфилд Академийн музейд болсон хэлэлцүүлгийн үеэр Алтманыг анх Конгресст хиймэл оюуны ил тод байдал, эрсдэлийн талаар ярьж байхыг харснаа дурссан байна.
Тэр үед Алтман OpenAI-д хувь эзэмшдэггүй, технологид дуртай бөгөөд хүмүүст санаа тавьдаг учраас ажиллаж байгаагаа хэлсэн нь өөрт нь ихэд таалагдсан гэж жүжигчин ярьжээ. Мөн Алтман буддын шашны багш Жэк Корнфилдтэй бясалгал хийж байгааг хараад түүнийг ирээдүйн дотнын найз байж магадгүй гэж бодсон ч одоогийн үйл явдлын талаар байр сууриа илэрхийлэхгүй гэдгээ хэлсэн байна.
Алтман OpenAI-ийг 2015 онд хамтран байгуулж, 2019 онд гүйцэтгэх захирал болсон. “Artificial” кинонд Юра Борисов, Купер Хоффман, Моника Барбаро, Жейсон Шварцман, Марк Райланс нар тоглох бол Ике Баринхольц Илон Маскийн дүрийг бүтээжээ.
Киног анх Amazon MGM Studios түгээхээр төлөвлөж байсан ч Amazon OpenAI-тай олон тэрбум ам.долларын гэрээ байгуулснаас хэд хоногийн дараа энэ шийдвэрээ цуцалсан юм. Amazon үүнийг арилжааны шалтгаантай гэж тайлбарласан бол зарим ажиглагч Алтманыг таагүйгээр дүрсэлсэн нь нөлөөлсөн байж магадгүй гэж үзжээ; Алтман уг шийдвэрт оролцоогүй гэдгээ мэдэгдсэн. Дараа нь Neon киноны түгээлтийн эрхийг авч, “Artificial” 2027 оны нэгдүгээр сарын 22-нд Их Британийн кино театруудаар нээлтээ хийнэ.

Andrew Garfield has spoken about Sam Altman, suggesting that there was a point where the billionaire OpenAI CEO felt “like my future best friend”.
The British actor, 43, plays Altman in the forthcoming biopic Artificial, directed by Challengers filmmaker Luca Guadagnino.
OpenAI, the company behind generative AI chatbot ChatGPT, is one of the leading forces in the contemporary AI boom.
While the film has been characterised by critics as a condemnatory portrayal of the modern tech scene, Garfield said he once felt admiration for Altman, during a Q&A at the Academy Museum in Los Angeles on Monday (9 November).
“The first time I saw Sam, he was testifying in front of Congress and he was saying incredibly righteous stuff,” the Amazing Spider-Man star said, following a screening of Artificial.
“He was talking about transparency [in AI]; he was talking about the risks. He was very, very casually saying, ‘No, I don’t have any equity in OpenAI. I’m just doing this because I love the technology and I’m passionate and I actually care about human beings.’”
According to Variety, Garfield “stopped short” of directly criticising Altman as he spoke about the tech tycoon’s history.
“I thought it was also just incredibly courageous for an out gay tech genius to be sat in front of Republican congressmen who probably don’t believe in his right to exist,” Garfield said. “So all of these things were adding up for me, and I was in such deep admiration of him. I was like, ‘Oh, we need more of these.’

“And then he was meditating with Jack Kornfield, who’s this incredible Buddhist teacher. I’m like, ‘This guy might be like my future best friend.’ I was like, ‘He’s genuinely great and he seems to really have his values and priorities in the right place,’” the actor added.
Artificial also stars Yura Borisov, Cooper Hoffman, Monica Barbaro, Jason Schwartzman, and Mark Rylance, while Ike Barinholtz (The Studio) plays controversial Tesla founder Elon Musk.
According to Garfield, Altman managed to “convince” him that he was “nothing but purely altruistic”.
“I mean, it’s all playing out. I’m not gonna comment on those things,” he said, referring to whether or not Altman had delivered on this initial impression. “We all are seeing what’s happening and we can all have our own feelings and opinions of that.”
Altman co-founded OpenAI in 2015, becoming CEO of the company in 2019, on the cusp of the global AI boom.
Artificial was originally set to be distributed by Amazon MGM Studios, but they controversially dropped the film days after Amazon signed a multibillion-dollar deal with Open AI.
While Amazon stated that the reason was commercial – believing it would perform better if released elsewhere – commentators speculated that the film’s unsympathetic depiction of Altman had been a factor. Altman denied any involvement in the decision, and Artificial was subsequently acquired by Neon.
Artificial is set to be released in UK cinemas on 22 January 2027.
