In an era defined by AI-driven everything, Luca Guadagnino's new documentary Artificial offers a scathing critique of the industry's most prominent figures.
Premiering at the New York Film Festival in October 2026, the film takes aim at OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and other stakeholders, depicting them with contempt while exposing their recklessness. From their awkward parties to their peculiar walks, the documentary paints a portrait of a tech elite dangerously detached from the consequences of their creations.
A Blistering Critique
Artificial doesn't just critique AI—it roasts its creators. The film uses archival footage and interviews to highlight the hubris and carelessness of those driving the AI boom. It's a dark warning about the dangers of unchecked technological ambition, arriving at a time when AI regulation is still struggling to catch up with rapid advancements.
As we navigate 2026, with AI systems increasingly embedded in daily life, Artificial serves as a timely reminder of the ethical and existential risks posed by those who build them. The documentary is a must-watch for anyone concerned about the future of technology and society.
