Reddit (NYSE:RDDT) is reportedly reconsidering its reported US$60 million per year AI licensing agreement with Google.
The company may block Google’s AI systems from accessing Reddit content if renewal talks do not progress.
The agreement is a key part of Reddit’s data licensing approach and a visible AI partnership for the platform.
For Reddit, a social platform built around user generated discussions, data licensing has become an important part of its business story alongside advertising. As more AI products rely on high quality conversational data, large communities like Reddit have become important content sources. Any change to the Google arrangement could influence how investors view Reddit’s mix between advertising and licensing revenue.
This report comes at a time when platforms and AI companies are reassessing how data is valued and compensated. For investors, the outcome of Reddit’s talks with Google could shape views on its leverage in AI negotiations and how it prices access to its content in future deals.
