Neon acquired the rights to the film "Artificial," a project focused on OpenAI and its chief executive Sam Altman, after Amazon MGM Studios decided not to proceed. Amazon MGM Studios had been developing the film but walked away following its investment in the start-up.

The film had been in development at Amazon MGM Studios before the company shifted its stance. Amazon's reported $50 billion investment in OpenAI preceded the decision to drop the project.
Neon completed the purchase after Amazon stepped aside.
A company statement indicated the studio did not want to upset Sam Altman. The transaction leaves Neon as the new rights holder for the biopic.
