Suchir Balaji spent nearly four years as an artificial intelligence researcher at OpenAI. Among other projects, he helped gather and organize the enormous amounts of internet data<\/a> the company used to build its online chatbot, ChatGPT.<\/p>\n

At the time, he did not carefully consider whether the company had a legal right to build its products in this way. He assumed the San Francisco start-up was free to use any internet data, whether it was copyrighted or not.<\/p>\n

But after the release of ChatGPT in late 2022<\/a>, he thought harder about what the company was doing. He came to the conclusion that OpenAI\u2019s use of copyrighted data violated the law and that technologies like ChatGPT were damaging the internet.<\/p>\n

In August, he left OpenAI because he no longer wanted to contribute to technologies that he believed would bring society more harm than benefit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cIf you believe what I believe, you have to just leave the company,\u201d he said during a recent series of interviews with The New York Times.<\/p>\n

Mr. Balaji, 25, who has not taken a new job and is working on what he calls \u201cpersonal projects,\u201d is among the first employees to leave a major A.I. company and speak out publicly against the way these companies have used copyrighted data to create their technologies. A former vice president at the London start-up Stability AI, which specializes in image- and audio-generating technologies, has made similar arguments<\/a>.<\/p>\n
