If the EU (or any other governments) decide that AI can’t legally train their models on information they don’t own or license (I don’t know how that would work legally but they talk about it), then this company that Reddit has sold access to could argue to lawmakers that they have license for all the content on Reddit. I don’t know that it would hold up, but I suspect it’s part of the company’s perceived value in this Reddit deal.
What do you mean? What legal cover do they need against what actions?
