‘Artificial’ Star Andrew Garfield Recalls Believing OpenAI’s Sam Altman Was ‘Genuinely Great’ and Could Be ‘My Future Best Friend’

Garfield said Altman’s values and priorities impressed him as the Luca Guadagnino film examines OpenAI’s founding and leadership turmoil.

Summary
Andrew Garfield’s portrayal of Sam Altman in “Artificial” is less than flattering, but there was a time when the actor deeply admired the OpenAI co-founder and CEO. “The first time I saw Sam, he was testifying in front of Congress and he was saying incredibly righteous stuff,” Garfield said Monday night during a Q&A following an AMPAS screening of the film at the Academy Museum in Los Angeles.
