Whistleblower of the Week
Poornima Rao
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.
