Millions of websites to get 'game-changing' AI bot blocker

Cloudflare, a major internet infrastructure firm, is rolling out a new system to block AI bots from accessing website content without permission, benefiting sites like Sky News and Buzzfeed. This move aims to protect content creators from AI firms that use their work without consent while holding AI companies accountable. Cloudflare's "game-changing" technology is set to give publishers more control over their content and introduce a "Pay Per Crawl" system for fair compensation. This development highlights the ongoing debate around AI, copyright, and the need for stronger legal protections in the digital space.
