[[{“value”:”Social media platform Reddit sued the artificial intelligence company Anthropic on Wednesday, alleging that it is illegally “scraping” the comments of Reddit users to train its chatbot Claude.
Reddit claims that Anthropic has used automated bots to access Reddit’s content despite being asked not to do so, and intentionally trained on the personal data of Reddit users without ever requesting their consent.
Anthropic said in a statement that it disagreed with Reddit’s claims “and will defend ourselves vigorously.
Reddit filed the lawsuit Wednesday in California Superior Court in San Francisco, where both companies are based.
AI companies should not be allowed to scrape information and content from people without clear limitations on how they can use that data, said Ben Lee, Reddit’s chief legal officer, in a statement Wednesday.
Reddit has previously entered licensing agreements with Google, OpenAI and other companies to enable them to train their AI systems on Reddit commentary.
