TechReddit is introducing a new moderator: AI

Reddit is turning to artificial intelligence to help moderate newly created subreddits, with plans to extend the system across the site. Its automated moderation tools use large language models to assist human moderators in managing their communities. The company is broadening access to the tools now, ahead of a full launch later this year. The initiative makes AI an additional moderation resource rather than replacing the communities’ existing moderators.
