Former OpenAI employee Susheer Balaji was recently found dead in his San Francisco apartment, according to the San Francisco Chief Medical Examiner’s Office. In October, the 26-year-old AI researcher raised concerns about OpenAI violating copyright law when he was interviewed New York Times.
“The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) has identified the deceased as Sushir Balaji, 26, of San Francisco. The manner of death has been determined to be a suicide,” a company spokesperson said in a statement to TechCrunch. “The OCME has notified the next of kin and has no “No further comments or reports for publication at this time.”
After several years working at OpenAI, Balaji left the company after realizing that the technology would bring more harm than good to society, he told the New York Times.
This was first reported by Mercury News.
