OpenAI has announced a partnership with the online community platform Reddit, granting OpenAI access to real-time data posted on Reddit via an API. This allows OpenAI’s artificial intelligence tools to learn more about current topics and narratives.
Simultaneously, this collaboration enables Reddit to access new AI tools for both community members (Redditors) and moderators, with OpenAI also becoming an advertising partner on Reddit.
This deal may not come as a surprise, considering Reddit’s recent partnership with Google on data training for AI. This is likely due to Sam Altman, the CEO and co-founder of OpenAI, being a major shareholder in Reddit.
The specifics of this deal have not been disclosed, but Reddit has stated that this agreement aligns with their platform usage terms, which restrict user data access and prioritize existing public data access.
TLDR: OpenAI and Reddit have partnered to exchange real-time data to enhance AI learning and provide new AI tools for Reddit users, with Sam Altman’s involvement possibly influencing the collaboration.
