According to The Mercury News, Suchir Balaji was discovered dead inside his San Francisco residence on Buchanan Street on November 26. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner and San Francisco police were cited.
Balaji gained notoriety for exposing the popular artificial intelligence firm that is being sued for its commercial practices.
According to the story, Balaji passed away three months after he openly accused OpenAI of breaking US copyright laws while creating ChatGPT, a generative AI tool that has become a lucrative phenomenon used by hundreds of millions of people worldwide.
Authors, computer programmers, and journalists filed a flurry of lawsuits against OpenAI after its public release in late 2022, alleging that the corporation unlawfully used its copyrighted works to train its program and increase its value to over USD 150 billion.
Balaji said that OpenAI was hurting companies and entrepreneurs whose data were used to train ChatGPT in an interview with the New York Times published on October 23.

According to the story, Balaji quit OpenAI because he no longer wished to support technologies that, in his opinion, would do more harm than good to society.
He told the source that "this is not a sustainable model for the internet ecosystem as a whole," and that "if you believe what I believe, you have to just leave the company."
Balaji studied computer science at UC Berkeley after growing up in Cupertino.
According to the Mercury News, Balaji's mother has asked for privacy as she mourns the loss of her son.
