Damon Albarn is set to score Artificial, the upcoming OpenAI movie from Luca Guadagnino, exploring the tumultuous events surrounding ChatGPT’s CEO, Sam Altman. In a recent interview with The Needle Drop, Albarn shared his insights on AI’s role in the arts, emphasizing that true music must be nuanced and reflect the artist’s emotional journey. “Once it becomes easy, it’s meaningless,” he stated, asserting that AI cannot replicate the soulful essence required to create impactful music. Albarn, previously associated with projects like Gorillaz and Blur, steps in after Trent Reznor to provide a unique score for the film. Artificial features a notable cast, including Andrew Garfield and Elon Musk, portrayed by Ike Barinholtz. Meanwhile, Albarn is promoting Gorillaz’s latest album, The Mountain, and gearing up for a 2026 North American tour, with tickets available through KONG Card and Citi pre-sales.
