Parents Hire PI After OpenAI Whistleblower’s Death
Following the death of former OpenAI researcher Suchir Balaji, his parents have commissioned an independent autopsy. Balaji, 26, was found dead in his San Francisco apartment on November 26th, with the medical examiner ruling his death a suicide. However, Balaji’s parents, questioning the official findings, seek further investigation due to his recent whistleblowing activities against OpenAI, alleging copyright infringement. Balaji’s contributions to OpenAI, including work on WebGPT, were significant.
