Former OpenAI researcher Suchir Balaji found dead in his San Francisco home
He, who worked at OpenAI for 4 years on products such as ChatGPT, resigned from the company earlier this year and two months ago announced his opposition to the company's behavior. At the time, he said that what OpenAI does with data collected from various sites to train its models violates copyright law and, in his opinion, this is not considered fair use of this information and such a defense is not acceptable.
OpenAI has been sued by various news outlets, including the New York Times, accusing the company of copyright infringement for illegally using the news outlet's data.
Mr. Balaji, who was 26 years old, committed suicide and ended his life, according to the medical examiner.
