Hollywood takes on Zuckerberg, Musk and Altman amid widespread anxiety over AI

This weekend marks the kickoff of a slew of films centered on some of the biggest figures in technology and artificial intelligence , as public concern about the industry grows. Sony Pictures' " The Social Reckoning " is expected to open to around $7 million domestically this weekend. The scripted film is a follow-up to Aaron Sorkin's "The Social Network" from 2010, which went on to win three Academy Awards. While Sorkin's first "Social" film focused on Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg 's founding of the company, "The Social Reckoning" follows the 2021 leak by Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen, who exposed internal documents from the tech giant. "It brought back really warm memories for me," Haugen told CNBC recently about the film.
