Reddit intensifies battle against AI-Generated content

Technology Jun 26, 2025

Reddit is stepping up its fight against AI-generated content, even as it licenses its massive archive to tech giants like OpenAI and Google.
CEO Steve Huffman calls this an "arms race" to keep Reddit a place for genuine human discussion—especially since those discussions are now fueling the next wave of AI.

Reddit's dual approach to AI

Reddit's testing new ways to verify users (even with biometrics). They've also sued Anthropic for allegedly using Reddit data without permission.
At the same time, Reddit's using its own AI tools to boost search, translations, and help advertisers spot trends—all while keeping over 100 million daily users engaged.
