美国社交新闻平台 Reddit 近日披露，美国联邦贸易委员会（FTC）正在对其与人工智能公司之间的用户生成内容共享协议进行非公开调查。根据 Reddit 的证券文件，FTC 的调查焦点在于 Reddit 将用户内容授权给 AI 公司使用的合规性。此外，据 Axios 报道，其他涉及类似交易的公司也收到了 FTC 的调查函。
这一消息是在 Reddit 上月提交首次公开募股（IPO）申请之后发布的。Reddit 计划以每股 31 至 34 美元的价格发行新股，预计最多可筹集 7.48 亿美元，这将使公司的估值接近 65 亿美元。在此之前，有报道称 Reddit 与谷歌达成了 AI 训练数据授权协议，每年可带来 6000 万美元的收入。
尽管面临 FTC 的调查，Reddit 坚称其与 AI 公司的交易并未违反美国消费者保护法。然而，FTC 的介入表明了对这一新型交易的关注，以及对用户数据使用和共享的监管审查正在加强。

News content:
Social news platform Reddit has recently disclosed that the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is conducting a non-public investigation into its content-sharing agreements with artificial intelligence companies. According to Reddit’s securities filings, the FTC’s focus is on the compliance of Reddit’s user content licensing to AI companies. Additionally, other companies involved in similar transactions have received letters from the FTC, as reported by Axios.
This news comes after Reddit’s initial public offering (IPO) application last month. Reddit plans to issue new shares at a price range of $31 to $34 per share, aiming to raise up to $748 million, which would value the company at nearly $6.5 billion. Prior to this, there were reports that Reddit had reached an AI training data licensing agreement with Google, generating $60 million in annual revenue.
Despite the FTC investigation, Reddit maintains that its transactions with AI companies do not violate U.S. consumer protection laws. However, the FTC’s involvement signals increased regulatory scrutiny of user data use and sharing, as well as a growing concern over novel types of transactions.
