Cloudflare introduces new AI traffic controls, analytics and content monetization initiatives

Cloudflare is rolling out new tools to give website owners control over AI access to their content. New sites will default to allowing search indexing but restrict AI training on ad-supported pages. A new dashboard will offer insights into AI traffic, and the company is exploring 'Pay Per Use' models to compensate creators for content used in AI responses. These measures aim for greater transparency as AI web traffic surges.
