A 26-year-old Indian-origin former employee of the artificial intelligence giant OpenAI has died by suicide in San Francisco.
The medical examiner's office determined the manner of death to be suicide and police officials said there is "currently, no evidence of foul play."
Balaji was one of the researchers who worked gathering data to train OpenAI's programmes like GPT4, which users interact with through the chatbot ChatGPT.
His death comes three months after he accused OpenAI of violating US copyright law while developing ChatGPT.
