A 26-year-old former OpenAI researcher, Suchir Balaji, was found dead in his San Francisco apartment in recent weeks, CNBC has confirmed. Balaji left OpenAI earlier this year and raised concerns publicly that the company had allegedly violated U.S. copyright law while developing its popular ChatGPT chatbot. A spokesperson for OpenAI confirmed Balaji's death. OpenAI is currently involved in legal disputes with a number of publishers, authors and artists over alleged use of copyrighted material for AI training data. "We actually don't need to train on their data," OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said at an event organized by Bloomberg in Davos earlier this year.
