Social media platform Reddit has initiated legal action against artificial intelligence company Anthropic. The lawsuit alleges that Anthropic has been scraping Reddit user comments to train its chatbot, Claude, without obtaining proper consent. Reddit’s chief legal officer emphasized the importance of setting clear limitations on data usage by AI companies. Previously, Reddit had entered licensing agreements with firms like Google and OpenAI to allow them to use its content responsibly while protecting user rights.
