Andrew Garfield’s upcoming drama Artificial has confirmed its release date in the UK. The movie centres around Sam Altman, real-life CEO of OpenAI – the artificial intelligence company behind ChatGPT. <\/p>\n

According to the synopsis, Artificial “chronicles the incredibly consequential days leading up to the sudden firing and reinstatement of Sam Altman, as the fate of who gets to control the technology at the centre of an AI arms race hangs in the balance.” <\/p>\n

The movie is directed by Luca Guadagnino and will be released in UK and Irish cinemas on 22 January 2027. <\/p>\n

Ahead of its cinematic release, Artificial will receive its world premiere at New York Film Festival<\/a> on 5 October. It will have its first UK screening on 11 October as part of the 70th BFI London Film Festival. <\/p>\n

Described as “thrilling, funny, and very human”, the drama is said to propel viewers “through the two decades of machine learning research and technocratic recklessness that have brought us to our current AI crisis point.”<\/p>\n

The story takes us back to 2003, when Soviet-born computer scientist Ilya Sutskever began studying artificial neural networks. He worked under the guidance of Geoffrey Hinton, a professor at the University of Toronto, known as the “Godfather of AI”.<\/p>\n

“A decade later, while employed by Google, Sutskever fatefully crosses paths with a young entrepreneur named Sam Altman, the eventual co-founder and CEO of OpenAI,” the description reads.<\/p>\n
