Sam Altman’s ouster from OpenAI was so dramatic that it’s apparently becoming a movie — Will we finally get the full story?

2023 saw an unexpected event unfold in the technology sphere when OpenAI’s board of directors dismissed Sam Altman from his role as CEO due to allegations of insufficient transparency regarding his leadership, management, and endeavors.

Employees criticized the decision, rallying together to express on social media that “OpenAI relies heavily on its employees.” In just five days, Sam Altman resumed his role as OpenAI’s CEO once more.

Despite the fact that most of the original team behind ChatGPT’s creation has left, some are criticizing OpenAI for focusing more on developing attractive products such as Artificial General Intelligence, while important aspects like safety procedures and culture seem to be neglected in the process.

It’s possible that you’ll soon have the opportunity to follow the entire event on a nearby screen. According to a recent report by The Hollywood Reporter, it’s being speculated that a movie will be made about what happened before, during, and after Sam Altman’s dismissal.

According to reports, the upcoming movie is tentatively titled “Artificial” and is currently under production at Amazon MGM Studios. At this point, specifics about the film are scarce, but it’s rumored that acclaimed director Luca Guadagnino (famous for Call Me by Your Name) might be at the helm.

Intriguingly, it’s been announced that Andrew Garfield will play Sam Altman in the movie. Meanwhile, Monica Barbaro and Yura Borisov have been cast as Mira Murati, the former OpenAI CTO, and Ilya Sutskever, respectively, in the same film.
