The mother of the AI whistleblower found dead of an apparent suicide just weeks after speaking out revealed that her son 'felt AI is a harm to humanity.'

Suchir Balaji, 26, was found dead in his San Francisco home on November 26, three months after he accused his former employer OpenAI of violating copyright laws in its development of ChatGPT.

Now, Balaji's mother is demanding that police reopen their investigation into his death, saying it 'doesn't look like a normal situation.'

'We want to leave the question open,' his mother, Poornima Ramarao, told Business Insider in an interview to discuss the troubled engineer's final months.

'He felt AI is a harm to humanity,' Ramarao said.

The young tech genius had joined OpenAI believing in its potential to benefit society, particularly drawn to its open-source philosophy.

But his mother revealed his perspective dramatically shifted as the company became more commercially focused following ChatGPT's launch.

She described the horrifying moment she realized her son was dead when she saw a stretcher arrive at his San Francisco apartment.
