Cloudflare’s new policy pushes AI companies to pay for publishers’ content

• ⏳ Cloudflare has set a strict deadline of September 15 for AI firms to update their web crawler identification protocols.
• 🤖 Companies must clearly separate bots used for search indexing from those used for AI training and autonomous agents.
• 🚫 Failure to comply will result in these bots being automatically blocked by default across a vast network of publisher websites.
