Websites are closing their doors to AI agents
Websites are increasingly blocking AI agents — automated systems that browse and act on the web on behalf of users. Publishers and service providers are restricting these bots, citing concerns over traffic loss, unauthorized data use, and security risks. The move highlights a growing tension between AI companies that want open access to the web and site owners trying to protect their content and business models.
Why now: Blocking AI agents is a fast-escalating conflict between the AI industry and the open web, affecting how the internet works for everyone.
