Over the past two decades, Reddit users have built the largest repository of human-generated information online, capturing the breadth and depth of the human experience. And because of its organized topics, quality-voting system, and anonymous (read: authentic) nature, this goldmine of user-generated content has become a particularly valuable resource for AI companies in training their learning models. Hear firsthand from Co-founder/CEO Steve Huffman as he shares key insights from Reddit’s journey, exploring how the platform’s unique model fuels AI innovation, and what the future holds for this symbiotic relationship between Reddit and AI.
