Suchir Balaji, a former OpenAI employee, was found dead in his San Francisco apartment. He had previously accused the company of copyright violations. Authorities ruled his death a suicide, but his mother disputes this and has called for an FBI investigation. Elon Musk has supported Balaji's mother, Poornima Ramarao, in her claims of foul play. She reported signs of struggle in her son's apartment and stated that a private autopsy did not confirm the police's findings. Balaji had expressed concerns about the impact of AI on society before his death. He left OpenAI, believing the technology could cause more harm than good.
