According to exclusive reports by The Hollywood Reporter, a movie titled Artificial Intelligence, focusing on the internal turmoil within OpenAI, is currently in development and production by Amazon MGM. The film narrates the dramatic events surrounding the ousting and subsequent reinstatement of Sam Altman, co-founder and CEO, over a span of five days.
Although still in the early planning stages, the project has already generated significant buzz. It is reported that Luca Guadagnino, known for acclaimed films such as Call Me by Your Name and Challenge, is in talks to direct the movie. In terms of casting, Andrew Garfield is rumored to play Altman, Monica Barbaro is set to portray former Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati, while Yura Borisov may take on the role of co-founder Ilya Sutskever — who is said to have played a key role in Altman’s dismissal.
What makes this project even more intriguing is that it will be scripted by Simon Rich, a renowned writer from Saturday Night Live. The film is expected to incorporate satire and dark humor, poking fun at the real-life "power struggle" drama unfolding in Silicon Valley. Industry insiders generally agree that the OpenAI incident, with its absurdity matching that of a plot twist in a script, is naturally suited for the silver screen.
A回顾 of the events shows that in November 2023, Altman was abruptly removed from his position as CEO of OpenAI, citing a "crisis of trust." However, under intense pressure from major shareholders like Microsoft and employees, he was reinstated just five days later, causing significant upheaval among the tech community.
This "coup-like" moment in OpenAI's history has become a classic anecdote in the annals of artificial intelligence development. Now, with its adaptation into the movie Artificial Intelligence, not only will it draw public attention to the relationship between technology and power, but it will also reflect the complex human nature and interest conflicts hidden behind the rapid rise of AI technology.
The release date of the film has yet to be announced, but both Silicon Valley and the film industry are starting to focus on the same question: when reality becomes more dramatic than fiction, can we still distinguish between AI being a punchline, a prophecy, or a warning?
