What's the story
OpenAI, the artificial intelligence research lab, has responded to allegations surrounding the death of its former employee and whistleblower Suchir Balaji.
The company described Balaji as a "valued member" of their team and expressed their sorrow over his passing.
The statement comes after Poornima Rao, Balaji's mother, accused OpenAI of covering up the investigation into her son's death and alleged that it was not a suicide but a murder by the company.
Investigation update
In a statement on X, OpenAI said it has contacted the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) and has offered assistance. The company said they trust law enforcement authorities to deal with this situation appropriately and will not comment further out of respect.
Meanwhile, Balaji's family has demanded an FBI investigation into his death, alleging murder and highlighting investigative lapses.
After these allegations, SFPD has reopened the case as an "active investigation."
