The parents of deceased OpenAI whistleblower Suchir Balaji have taken legal action against the city of San Francisco and the San Francisco Police Department, alleging that the real cause of his death was not suicide, however murder.

The claim, submitted in January, declares that the SFPD covered the criminal offense, ruling it a suicide without carrying out a comprehensive examination.

"The claim demands that the city, authorities department, and medical examiner release public files withheld under the general public Records Act," Joseph Goethals, lawyer for visualchemy.gallery the petitioners, told Decrypt. He said that if the files weren't supplied within 10 days, and "no legitimate exceptions apply, a claim can oblige their release. We will look for a court order to obtain them."

Attorneys for Ramarao and Ramamurthy likewise argued that the investigation into their son's death was hurried and inadequate, with officials overlooking key forensic findings and failing to address their ask for lespoetesbizarres.free.fr more inquiry.

Balaji worked for OpenAI from November 2020 to August 2024. In an interview with The New York Times in October, he said that before the public launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, he had assisted OpenAI gather and utilize "enormous amounts" of information drawn from the internet without permission.
