Reddit started a legal fight against AI giant Anthropic over data scraping, highlighting issues of content ownership and copyright in the genAI era.

In its lawsuit, Reddit said Anthropic had also declined to enter into a licensing agreement for data and had unjustly enriched itself at Reddit’s expense.

Reddit sued the artificial intelligence startup Anthropic on Wednesday, accusing it of stealing data from the social media discussion website to train its AI models despite publicly assuring it wouldn't.
