AWS WAF now supports AI traffic monetization, allowing website owners to charge AI bots for accessing their content.
Until now, content owners could only allow or block AI crawlers. Now, they have a new option: monetize access to their content.
This could be a game-changer for publishers, bloggers, news sites, and businesses that invest heavily in creating valuable content.
The internet is entering a new era where AI companies may need to pay for the content they use.
What do you think? Should AI bots pay for content access?
Stop serving AI crawlers for free – now you can charge them at the edge, with no code changes.
