Reddit in Talks for New AI Content Deals with Google, OpenAI
Reddit, the social media website, is talking to Google and OpenAI (the company that made ChatGPT) about making new deals.
They already have a deal with Google where Google pays them for using their discussions.
Now, Reddit wants to work even closer with Google, especially for their AI products.
They hope this will help get more people to post on Reddit, by getting more views through Google's help.
They also want a new way to get paid – instead of a set amount, they want to be paid based on how much their content is used and how helpful it is for AI tools.
If this works out, it could set an example for other companies that have content created by users.
Reddit is holding early talks with Google and OpenAI.
The talks aim to expand content sharing agreements.
Reddit currently has a $60 million annual licensing agreement with Google.
The goal is deeper collaboration with Google's AI products.
A new payment model is proposed, based on content value.
