Amazon reportedly dropped ‘Artificial,’ now earning rave reviews

Variety reports that Luca Guadagnino’s “Artificial,” a film about AI and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman that Amazon dropped, is earning rave reviews. The acclaim is raising questions about whether Amazon’s AI investments played a role. A creative on an Amazon MGM series told Variety that a mandatory AI training meeting included an hourlong pitch for AI “tools.” Nicolas Cage said he refused to sign a document allowing Amazon to use AI in and around his likeness on the now-canceled “Spider-Noir.”
