A former OpenAI researcher, Suchir Balaji, was found dead in his San Francisco apartment on November 26, with the medical examiner ruling his death a suicide. Balaji, 26, had recently spoken out against OpenAI's practices, alleging violations of copyright law during the development of ChatGPT. Following his departure from the company, he warned colleagues about ethical concerns related to generative AI. OpenAI expressed condolences to Balaji's family after the tragic news.
