Reddit has filed a lawsuit against AI start-up Anthropic, accusing it of breach of contract and engaging in 'unlawful and unfair business acts' by using Reddit's platform and data without authorization.
Anthropic, known for its chatbot Claude and AI technologies, has been sued by Reddit despite earlier collaborations with the UK government to enhance public services using advanced AI.
Reddit alleges that Anthropic disregarded data policies, scraped Reddit's platform without consent, and trained on personal data of Reddit users, leading to the lawsuit seeking damages and compliance with legal obligations.
Reddit's lawsuit aims to compel Anthropic to respect its rules and seek damages, highlighting previous partnerships Reddit has established with companies like OpenAI and Google in the AI space.
