Deepfaking Sam Altman

July 07, 2026

A mordantly funny journey through technology, intimacy and accountability—where the filmmaker takes a page out of the AI playbook to deepfake his subject.

DEEPFAKING SAM ALTMAN | OFFICIAL TRAILER

 

Director Adam Bhala Lough sets out to understand the technology and people at the center of AI. His quest sends him on a path towards OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman. When he can't sit down with Altman, Adam travels to India to create an AI version of him to interview instead. 

Sam Bot is a new kind of documentary subject and collaborator, who challenges Adam in surprising and hilarious ways. Together, Adam and Sam Bot explore what it means to be alive, create art and understand our era's obsession with simulation while longing for connection in an increasingly digital world.
