💻 Cloudflare introduces category-based AI bot filtering
Cloudflare has introduced a new AI traffic management system that replaces simple blocking with granular bot classification. Crawlers are now divided into three categories: Search (indexing for search engines), Agent (performing actions on behalf of a user), and Training (collecting data for model training).
🌍 This allows content owners to protect intellectual property from model training without losing visibility in search engines.
👤 Website owners gain tools for monetization, while AI agent users may encounter new access rules for resources.
