Ex-OpenAI engineer who raised legal concerns about the technology he helped build has diedSuchir Balaji, a former OpenAI engineer and whistleblower who helped train the artificial intelligence systems behind ChatGPT and later said he believed those practices violated copyright law, has died, according to his parents and San Francisco officials. He was 26. Balaji worked at OpenAI for nearly four years before quitting in August. He was well-regarded by colleagues at the San Francisco company, where a co-founder this week called him one of OpenAI's strongest contributors who was essential to developing some of its products. “We are devastated to learn of this incredibly sad news and our hearts go out to Suchir’s loved ones during this difficult time,” said a statement from OpenAI. Balaji was found dead in his San Francisco apartment on Nov. 26 in what police said “appeared to be a suicide. No evidence of foul play was found during the initial investigation.” The city's chief medical examiner's office confirmed the manner of death to be suicide. His parents Poornima Ramarao and Balaji Ramamurthy said they are still seeking answers, describing their son as a “happy, smart and brave young man” who loved to hike and recently returned from a trip with friends. Balaji grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and first arrived at the fledgling AI research lab for a 2018 summer internship while studying computer science at the University of California, Berkeley. He returned a few years later to work at OpenAI, where one of his first projects, called WebGPT, helped pave the way for ChatGPT. “Suchir’s contributions to this project were essential, and it wouldn’t have succeeded without him,” said OpenAI co-founder John Schulman in a social media post memorializing Balaji. Schulman, who recruited Balaji to his team, said what made him such an exceptional engineer and scientist was his attention to detail and ability to notice subtle bugs or logical errors. “He had a knack for finding simple solutions and writing elegant code that worked,” Schulman wrote. “He’d think through the details of things carefully and rigorously.” Balaji later shifted to organizing the huge datasets of online writings and other media used to train GPT-4, the fourth generation of OpenAI's flagship large language model and a basis for the company's famous chatbot. It was that work that eventually caused Balaji to question the technology he helped build, especially after newspapers, novelists and others began suing OpenAI and other AI companies for copyright infringement. He first raised his concerns with The New York Times, which reported them in an October profile of Balaji . He later told The Associated Press he would “try to testify” in the strongest copyright infringement cases and considered a lawsuit brought by The New York Times last year to be the “most serious.” Times lawyers named him in a Nov. 18 court filing as someone who might have “unique and relevant documents” supporting allegations of OpenAI's willful copyright infringement. His records were also sought by lawyers in a separate case brought by book authors including the comedian Sarah Silverman, according to a court filing. “It doesn’t feel right to be training on people’s data and then competing with them in the marketplace,” Balaji told the AP in late October. “I don’t think you should be able to do that. I don’t think you are able to do that legally.” He told the AP that he gradually grew more disillusioned with OpenAI, especially after the internal turmoil that led its board of directors to fire and then rehire CEO Sam Altman last year. Balaji said he was broadly concerned about how its commercial products were rolling out, including their propensity for spouting false information known as hallucinations. But of the “bag of issues” he was concerned about, he said he was focusing on copyright as the one it was “actually possible to do something about.” He acknowledged that it was an unpopular opinion within the AI research community, which is accustomed to pulling data from the internet, but said “they will have to change and it’s a matter of time.” He had not been deposed and it’s unclear to what extent his revelations will be admitted as evidence in any legal cases after his death. He also published a personal blog post with his opinions about the topic. Schulman, who resigned from OpenAI in August, said he and Balaji coincidentally left on the same day and celebrated with fellow colleagues that night with dinner and drinks at a San Francisco bar. Another of Balaji’s mentors, co-founder and chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, had left OpenAI several months earlier , which Balaji saw as another impetus to leave. Schulman said Balaji had told him earlier this year of his plans to leave OpenAI and that Balaji didn't think that better-than-human AI known as artificial general intelligence “was right around the corner, like the rest of the company seemed to believe.” The younger engineer expressed interest in getting a doctorate and exploring “some more off-the-beaten path ideas about how to build intelligence,” Schulman said. Balaji's family said a memorial is being planned for later this month at the India Community Center in Milpitas, California, not far from his hometown of Cupertino. —————- EDITOR’S NOTE — This story includes discussion of suicide.

Bear Clan is the newest club in the Winnipeg School Division, joining the ranks of extracurriculars ranging from basketball teams to LGBTTQ+ alliances. None of the lunchtime or after-school activities at R.B. Russell Vocational School had stood out to Kaylan Wellwood before the spring. It was then the now-Grade 12 student first joined a North End patrol, alongside peers, teachers and community advocates clad in high-visibility vests. The smiles of neighbours who accepted their food and water bottle donations stuck with him, the 18-year-old said. “Things I’ve learned is just: help those who need support, care and love,” added Wellwood, who has become a full-fledged member of Bear Clan, both at R.B. Russell and after the bell. WSD and the Indigenous-led organization, which has a peacekeeping mission using a non-confrontational and harm-reduction approach, are partnering to help more students find a sense of belonging at school and volunteer in their community. R.B. Russell, located at 364 Dufferin Ave., is running daytime patrols every other Tuesday afternoon. Children of the Earth High School launched a similar collaboration last week that will see teens invited to craft upcycle mittens and patrol on Thursdays for the remainder of the academic year. “It’ll be almost like a chess club or a drama club or a dance club or a music club,” said Kevin Walker, executive director of Bear Clan Patrol Inc., following an introductory assembly at the Salter Street high school that simultaneously delivers academic and cultural education. “It’s important that kids have some pride in the community, pride in being together as a group, all working together, and getting them introduced to some of the challenges and some of the struggles in the community.” Walker said he and his colleagues from the charity want to be more visible in schools on a regular basis, serving as mentors and older-sibling-like figures students can lean on for advice. The goal is to show local youth how to be compassionate and empathetic, and empower them to make a difference, he said. “They’re going to be the next generation to fix the problems. Why do we have relatives freezing in bus shacks? We should be able to figure that out,” the executive director said. Bear Clan, initially started in 1992 by community-minded residents who led group walks in the inner city for several years, has grown exponentially since it was restarted in 2015. There are now about 25 paid employees who oversee everything from fundraising to leading land-based education programs, per the latest report from the Canada Revenue Agency. The charity collects individual donations and annual government funding. In 2022, it raised upwards of $900,000. Teacher Will Jones inquired about formalizing a relationship between R.B. Russell and Bear Clan in the 2023-24 winter term after participating in a patrol with his rotary club. Jones sought advice from a former teacher at the school who’d introduced students to Bear Clan during her tenure, and proceeded to make some calls. More than 200 students took part in a patrol in June. Attendance fluctuates, but there have been about 10 regulars showing up this autumn to make sandwiches to distribute, talk to residents and walk around. “Students are now coming to me and saying, ‘Will, can I go out with you?’ As long as they’ve got a signed consent form from their parents or guardian, then they can come,” said the teacher supervisor who has been seeking donations wherever possible. Local workwear brand Tough Duck donated 200 vests. The vocational school’s graphics department is working on a custom R.B. Russell-Bear Clan crest for each one. Manitoba’s largest school division and Bear Clan are leveraging each other as community organizations with similar interests, superintendent Matt Henderson said.

Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. “We’re both committed to creating just, sustainable and healthy societies and part of that is through education and experiential education,” he said, noting Elmwood High School is preparing to join forces with Bear Clan. As for their neighbours in the community, many of whom are experiencing homelessness and food insecurity, Jones said he’s seen firsthand the gratitude for simple conversations sparked by students. “There’s a lot of people that will just walk past the people (accessing social services) on Main Street and don’t give them the time of day,” said Jones, a supported education teacher at R.B. Russell. “Our kids are stopping. They’re saying, ‘Hi.’ They’re talking with them, and they’re learning that they are people, people with their own stories.” maggie.macintosh@freepress.mb.ca Maggie Macintosh reports on education for the .

Amazon is doubling its investment in Anthropic to $8 billion in a deepened collaboration on artificial intelligence, the companies said Friday. The e-commerce and technology behemoth will remain a minority investor in Anthropic, having pumped an initial $4 billion into the artificial intelligence developer late last year and becoming its primary cloud computing provider. "The response from AWS customers who are developing generative AI applications powered by Anthropic in Amazon Bedrock has been remarkable," said Matt Garman, chief of AWS cloud computing division. "We'll keep pushing the boundaries of what customers can achieve with generative AI technologies." Amazon is investing the additional $4 billion in Anthropic as part of an expanded alliance that includes working together on "Trainium" hardware to optimize machine learning, according to the companies. "We're looking forward to working with Amazon to train and power our most advanced AI models using AWS Trainium, and helping to unlock the full potential of their technology," said Anthropic chief executive Dario Amodei. The announcement came just days after Britain's competition regulator cleared Google-parent Alphabet's investment in Anthropic, following a probe. The Competition and Markets Authority concluded that the big tech giant had not acquired "material influence" over Anthropic as a result of the deal, which was reported to have cost $2 billion. The British regulator is one of several global regulators concerned with reining in big tech companies and their partnerships with AI firms. In September, the CMA cleared Amazon's initial investment in Anthropic, saying it did not believe that "a relevant merger situation has been created." gc/mlm
