The police ruled the event as a suicide but reports suggest that before his death, Balaji had sounded an alarm on OpenAI’s allegedly illegal copyright practices in the development of ChatGPT.
Suchir Balaji's mother said her son was found dead a week after being named as a potential witness in a lawsuit brought against OpenAI by The NY Times.
Suchir Balaji's father, Balaji Ramamurthy, described being the last person to speak with his son. He said, “He was happy, not depressed or anything. And it was his birthday week,” while disputing the suicide claim.
On 23rd October this year, Suchir Balaji argued that OpenAI was harming businesses and entrepreneurs by stealing their data to train ChatGPT. He said, “If you believe what I believe, you have to just leave the company. This is not a sustainable model for the internet ecosystem as a whole.”
