The latest autopsy report determined that the cause of death of the OpenAI whistleblower was suicide, and the result was questioned by his family

Odaily Planet Daily News On November 26 last year, suchir Balaji, a former employee of OpenAI, was found dead in his apartment in San Francisco; on Friday, the city's medical examiner ruled that the cause of death was suicide, which Balaji's family questioned, sparking widespread speculation online. Last October, Balaji accused OpenAI of illegally using copyrighted materials to train its artificial intelligence models, which attracted media attention. He publicly expressed his concerns and provided information to the New York Times, which later listed him as a key figure in the newspaper's lawsuit against OpenAI and provided "unique and relevant documents." His revelations came at a time when more and more publishers and artists were suing OpenAI for alleged copyright infringement. According to Balaji's parents, just a few days before his death, Balaji had just celebrated his 26th birthday and planned to start a non-profit activity in the field of machine learning. His sudden death has attracted the attention of figures such as Musk and journalist Tucker Carlson, while Congressman Ro Khanna called for a "full and transparent investigation." But according to the San Francisco County Medical Examiner's report, Balaji's cause of death was suicide, but it has become a focus of debate over the ethics of artificial intelligence, corporate responsibility, and the dangers faced by Silicon Valley whistleblowers. Whether these things will be resolved remains to be seen. (TechCrunch)
