Web giant Cloudflare bans AI bots from scraping content by default

Cloudflare has implemented a new policy to block AI crawlers by default, enhancing content control for site owners and introducing a ‘Pay per Crawl’ marketplace for compensation. This shift is backed by major publishers seeking fairer data usage.

OpenAI and other AI developers have expressed concerns regarding these new restrictions. The change could limit their ability to access and analyze web content efficiently, which raises significant implications in the AI sector.
