The partnership with Google marks Reddit’s first known agreement with a significant AI company.
Google and social media platform Reddit have formed a partnership where Reddit will supply its content as artificial intelligence (AI) training data to the search engine. In a recent announcement, Reddit mentioned that it will offer Google improved methods for training models.
Through the collaboration, Google will be able to use Reddit’s data application programming interface (API), which provides real-time content from Reddit’s platform. This will offer Google an effective and organized method to access Reddit’s extensive content, enabling the display of Reddit content innovatively across Google’s products.
In this collaboration, Reddit will access Vertex AI, Google’s AI-powered service designed to enhance search results for companies. Reddit clarifies that this update doesn’t impact the terms of its data API, maintaining restrictions on commercial access without approval for developers or companies.
