Amazon’s Movie Arm Abandons Film About OpenAI

The team behind the film, titled "Artificial," will now attempt to sell the project to another studio. Amazon's decision to drop the film project is unexpected, given its substantial investment in OpenAI. The move leaves the future of the film uncertain, as its creators seek a new production partner.
