Reddit Inc. has filed a lawsuit against Anthropic PBC that accuses the artificial intelligence startup of unauthorized scraping and commercial use of Reddit user data to train its Claude family of AI models.

Reddit had filed a lawsuit against Anthropic, alleging that the AI company behind the Claude chatbot has been using its data for years without permission. The lawsuit comes after Reedit has increasingly taken a hardline stance against scrapers and companies that use its data to train AI models.

Social media platform Reddit sued the artificial intelligence company Anthropic on Wednesday, alleging that it is illegally "scraping" the comments of millions of Reddit users to train its chatbot Claude.
