Suchir Balaji, a 26-year-old former OpenAI researcher and whistleblower, was found deceased in his San Francisco apartment last month. On November 26, the San Francisco medical examiner ruled his death a suicide, with police finding no evidence of foul play.

Balaji, who left OpenAI in August, recently criticized the company for using copyrighted material from the Internet to train its chatbot. The AI giant currently faces several lawsuits over its data collection methods.

Raised in Cupertino, California, Balaji was an exceptional programmer. He excelled in competitions, achieving 31st place at the ACM ICPC 2018 World Finals.

Balaji had a lifelong interest in AI, driven by its potential to solve major global challenges. In an October interview with The New York Times, he discussed his vision for AI to address issues like disease and ageing.

He joined OpenAI in 2020, where he spent four years. For one and a half of those years, he managed large data sets for ChatGPT.

Suchir Balaji, ex-OpenAI researcher, found DEAD in SF apartment, cause ruled suicide.

Raised concerns about OpenAI's copyright practices in NYT interview.

Balaji acknowledged that he had overlooked the legal implications of using copyrighted and public internet data. His ethical concerns increased after the release of ChatGPT in late 2022, as he realized the harm caused by using copyrighted material without permission.

Disenchanted by the potential negative impacts of such technologies, Balaji resigned in 2024 to focus on personal projects.

His death came shortly after a court named him in a filing related to an ongoing lawsuit against OpenAI, where his records were under examination.
