Community members in Silicon Valley held a candlelight vigil for Suchir Balaji, the OpenAI whistleblower found dead in his San Francisco apartment shortly after he expressed his concerns publicly over the high-flying startup's data practices.
Balaji was only 26 and at OpenAI for four years after graduated from UC Berkeley. His death was classified as a suicide, but his family is asking for a federal investigation into the matter.
OpenAI is one of the most preeminent AI companies in the world, with a valuation in excess of $150 billion.
Suchir's parents speak publicly for the first time at this event, followed by remarks by concerned community members.
Recorded in Silicon Valley on 12/27/24
