Tech giants back new robots.txt standard for AI training controls

Major technology companies are backing an extension to the robots.txt standard that lets publishers specify whether and how AI systems may use their content for model training. The update would give website owners granular, machine-readable control over scraping and training data use, a long-standing friction point between media outlets and AI developers. Supporters frame it as a practical step toward clearer consent rules for web content in the AI era.
Why now: Publishers and AI firms are actively negotiating how content can be used for model training, making a formal consent standard timely
