Hollywood studios are reportedly hesitant to distribute "Artificial," a biographical drama about OpenAI co-founder and CEO Sam Altman, due to concerns about portraying Big Tech negatively. Amazon MGM, which had initially planned to distribute the film, unexpectedly dropped it, citing that it would be "better served if it were released by a different studio." This decision follows Amazon's significant investment in OpenAI and suggests a broader trend of studios avoiding critical narratives about AI executives. The film, which chronicles Altman's brief ousting and swift return to OpenAI in 2023, was expected to align with Hollywood's recent focus on tech titans. AI
