Google Inks $60M Deal with Reddit for AI Training Data Amid Accuracy Concerns
-
Google and Reddit signed a $60M deal giving Google access to Reddit's real-time data to improve AI offerings like Gemini. This comes as Google faces criticism over inaccurate Gemini responses.

The deal highlights the value of user-generated online content for training large language models (LLMs), but also the complexity around potential intellectual property (IP) infringement.
-
Google needs more user data to make its AI more reliable and accurate, especially with rivals like OpenAI making advances.
-
Similar content licensing deals may be crucial for responsibly training LLMs without infringing on IP rights, as the NYT lawsuit against AI platforms shows.

Copyright laws globally need updating to account for AI systems that generate content by training on others' copyrighted work.
