Artificial follows Soviet-born computer scientist Ilya Sutskever from his studies under AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton to his fateful partnership with Sam Altman, tracing the founding of OpenAI and the existential panic that followed. When Sutskever and the board move to oust Altman, a corporate power struggle erupts that puts the future of artificial intelligence — and humanity — on the line. Guadagnino and screenwriter Simon Rich move the material from dark comedy through technocratic giddiness to something approaching horror, asking who really controls what they've built. It's a film about idealism curdling, ambition outrunning ethics, and what happens when the people who fear the technology most are the ones who made it.
