After Amazon drops OpenAI movie ‘Artificial,’ film finds new home at Neon

The film, described as an OpenAI movie with a critical take on artificial intelligence, was removed from Amazon's slate due to its critical perspective.

The decision by Amazon MGM came after internal reviews flagged the film's critical stance on AI. Neither Amazon nor Neon have provided detailed public statements on the change. The film's title 'Artificial' suggests a focus on AI's societal impact. Neon is known for distributing acclaimed independent films such as 'Parasite' and 'Triangle of Sadness'.

The film's shift from Amazon to Neon highlights the challenges of distributing content that critiques major technology companies. It also raises questions about corporate control over narratives surrounding AI. The film is expected to find an audience through Neon's platform, with a release date expected later in 2026. No specific date has been announced.
