OpenAI and Reddit strike deal for AI training data (and more)

[Trendingger]

 

OpenAI has penned an agreement with Reddit, aiming to utilize the social news site’s data for training AI models. This partnership is set to revolutionize the way AI understands and interacts with human language.

 

The deal will see Reddit’s content incorporated into ChatGPT, OpenAI’s renowned conversational AI. This integration promises to enhance the AI’s ability to understand and generate human-like text, paving the way for more natural and engaging interactions.

 

In addition to benefiting OpenAI, this collaboration also brings new opportunities for Reddit. The social media giant is set to gain new artificial intelligence features for its forums, enhancing the user experience and fostering more dynamic online communities.

 

Interestingly, this partnership also sees OpenAI becoming a Reddit advertising partner. This move is expected to diversify Reddit’s revenue streams and could potentially reshape the landscape of online advertising.

 

However, this partnership is not without its complexities. OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, holds a significant stake in Reddit. While this could raise questions about potential conflicts of interest, it has been clarified that the partnership was led by OpenAI’s COO and approved by its independent board of directors.

 

How will this partnership influence the future of AI? And more importantly, how will Reddit users react to their data being used to train AI models? We invite you to share your thoughts on this intriguing development.
