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 News On November 26 last year, former OpenAI employee Suchir Balaji was found dead in his San Francisco apartment; on Friday, the city's medical examiner ruled the cause of death to be suicide, which Balaji's family questioned, sparking widespread speculation online.
Last October, Balaji attracted media attention when he accused OpenAI of illegally using copyrighted material to train its AI models. He publicly voiced his concerns and provided information to the New York Times, which later named him as a key figure in the newspaper's lawsuit against OpenAI and provided "unique and relevant documents." His revelations came as a growing number of publishers and artists sued OpenAI for alleged copyright infringement.
According to his parents, Balaji had just celebrated his 26th birthday a few days before his death and was planning to start a non-profit in the field of machine learning. His sudden death 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)
