Elon Musk has reacted to the death of a former OpenAI researcher, who was found dead in his apartment after speaking out against the tech giants.
Suchir Balaji, 26, was found in his San Francisco apartment on November 26, after police received a call asking officers to check in on his wellbeing.
He was a researcher at the artificial intelligence company for four years, but upon leaving the company, he spoke out against the alleged methods they were using to train AI chatbots like ChatGPT.
Balaji studied computer science at the University of California, Berkeley, before joining the technology organisation - but found he was unhappy about what was allegedly going on behind the scenes.
The whistleblower alleged that OpenAI had violated US copyright law, while developing its popular ChatGPT online chatbot.
OpenAI has been fighting a number of lawsuits relating to its data-gathering practices, after stating that its system is trained on 'publicly available data'.
While The San Francisco medical examiner's office determined that Balaji's death was as a result of suicide, tech mogul Elon Musk doesn't seem to be convinced.
Hearing about the news on his platform X, he re-shared a post - captioning it 'hmmm'.
In July 2023, the Tesla CEO announced that he was creating a rival AI start-up in a bid to compete with ChatGPT.
This is, of course, after months of warning people that AI could see 'civilisational destruction' if regulations weren't drawn up in time.
