Websites are closing their doors to AI agents
A growing number of websites are blocking AI agents from accessing their content, as reported by The Verge. Site operators are increasingly restricting automated AI crawlers and browsing agents, concerned about content scraping, loss of traffic, and unauthorised use of their material. The move signals rising tension between publishers and AI companies over who controls web content and how it can be used to train or power AI systems.
Why now: Publishers are pushing back against AI companies scraping and using their content without compensation or permission.
