Reddit CEO Tells Microsoft to Pay for Data Scraping Privileges

Reddit CEO Steve Huffman demands payment from Microsoft and other companies for accessing and using Reddit's data, escalating the ongoing debate about AI training data and content licensing in the tech industry.

Details:

Reddit has updated its robots.txt file to block web crawlers from companies without agreements, targeting Microsoft's Bing, Anthropic, and Perplexity.
Huffman accuses Microsoft of using Reddit's data to train AI and summarize content in Bing results without permission, as well as selling this data through the Bing API to other search engines.
Reddit has struck deals with Google and OpenAI, allowing them to display Reddit content, and Huffman wants to replicate this model with other companies.

This move by Reddit aligns with traditional media publishers seeking compensation for their content used in AI training. Huffman argues that the value exchange between search engines and content providers has changed as search, summarization, and AI training merge.

AI Hallucinations Led to False Trump Rally Report Says Meta

Meta's AI assistant has come under fire for incorrectly stating that the recent attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump didn't happen, highlighting the ongoing challenges of AI hallucinations and real-time event handling in generative AI systems.

Details:

Meta initially programmed its AI to not respond to questions about the shooting, but removed this restriction when people noticed, leading to incorrect responses including denials of the event's occurrence.
Joel Kaplan, Meta's global head of policy, attributed these errors to "hallucinations," a common issue across all generative AI systems, particularly when dealing with real-time events.
The incident has sparked broader discussions, with Trump accusing Meta and Google of "rigging the election," and Google refuting claims that its Search autocomplete feature was censoring results about the assassination attempt.

As companies like Meta continue to refine their AI systems, addressing these challenges remains crucial for the responsible development and deployment of AI technologies.
