A senior artificial intelligence researcher tapped by Elon Musk to create a rival bot to OpenAI’s ChatGPT was arrested last month for domestic battery, according to reports.
Igor Babuschkin was taken into custody by police in Palo Alto, Calif. on March 6, though prosecutors who reviewed the case said there were no plans to charge him with a crime, according to The Information.
Palo Alto police had responded to a domestic disturbance in the morning at a luxury apartment building at 588 Webster St., which is not far from the campus of Stanford University, The Information reported.
“Following an investigation, police arrested the suspect (Igor Babuschkin) for misdemeanor domestic violence and booked him into the Santa Clara County Main Jail,” Palo Alto Police Department spokesperson Brian Philip wrote in an email to The Information.
According to Philip, Babuschkin was released on $10,000 bond at 5:46 p.m. on the day of his arrest.
