Reddit plans to use human reviewers to find and remove fake AI accounts.

Reddit wants to do more to show that its users are real people, after getting negative reaction for running an AI experiment on users without telling them. Last month, 404 Media reported that a team of researchers from the University of Zurich had carried out a live test using AI bot profiles on Reddit. The purpose of the experiment was to find out whether these bots could influence people’s opinions on certain divisive topics.

AI bots were more persuasive than humans in changing Reddit users’ minds on controversial topics. However, Reddit users were rightfully angry because they had been manipulated, with no clear signs that they were interacting with bot profiles.

According to a community update from Reddit CEO Steve Huffman, the company will soon add new ways to show that users are real human beings.

To keep Reddit full of real people and to follow new laws, they need a bit more information from you. They need to know if you’re a human, and in some places, if you’re an adult. But they don’t want to know your name or who you are. They will do this by using trusted third-party services that only give the basic information they need nothing more.

Reddit plans to do something similar, but as Huffman says, they still want users to stay anonymous if they want to. Soon, you may need to prove you’re a real person to get a special mark on your profile and posts. This will help spot and remove AI-generated accounts.

It’s a smart idea, but it might be hard to do on a large scale. It will be interesting to see if Reddit users are okay with proving they’re real people. On a positive note, Huffman also promised that the “old Reddit” version on the web will still be available.
