About this listen
As AI models continue to train on publicly available content, a new battle is emerging: control and compensation. In episode 13 of Digitally Speaking , we examine growing concerns among content creators over AI scraping, and explore tools like Cloudflare’s Pay-Per-Crawl and default crawler blocking designed to monetise and restrict access. From technical defences to the ethical and strategic questions raised, we ask: should you block AI bots... or embrace them? For small businesses especially, visibility and value may be at odds. Listen in as we navigate the trade-offs of protecting your IP in an AI-driven digital economy.
