In this episode of the Whistleblower of the Week podcast, host Jane Turner speaks with Poornima Ramarao, the mother of OpenAI whistleblower Suchir Balaji, who tragically passed away in November.
Balaji blew the whistle to the New York Times on alleged copyright violations by OpenAI. He was found dead in his apartment months later.
In this episode, Turner and Ramarao discuss Balaji’s upbringing and courageous whistleblowing, the questions Ramarao has surrounding his death and the related police investigation, and why Ramarao hopes her son’s passing will help lead to better protections for AI whistleblowers.
Ramarao has set up a GoFundMe: Justice for Suchir Balaji.
National Whistleblower Center has set up an Action Alert allowing supporters to write to Congress demanding protections for artificial intelligence whistleblowers.
