Reddit to charge AI companies for use of its API

AI developments from generating videos, voices, pictures and human-like conversations are growing rapidly. Lawmakers say they are trying to keep up. Reddit is planning to charge tech companies for the use of its application programming interface. Through the method, outside entities have the ability to download and process the social network's conversations, including tech giants using them in the development of artificial intelligence tech like large language models. "The Reddit corpus of data is really valuable," Reddit co-founder and CEO Steve Huffman told The New York Times Tuesday.
