July 3, 2024: Cloudflare Unveils Anti-AI Bot Tool - Cloudflare has released a free tool designed to protect websites on its platform from AI bots that scrape data for training AI models. Despite some AI companies allowing site owners to block scraping via robots.txt, Cloudflare notes that not all AI scrapers comply. Their solution involves advanced bot detection models to identify and blacklist evasive AI bots. This move addresses the growing issue of unauthorized data scraping for AI training, amid reports of AI firms ignoring standard exclusion protocols like robots.txt. Cloudflares initiative aims to provide better control and security for website owners against unwelcome AI data harvesting.
