Cloudflare announces enhancements to AI Crawl Control, enabling organizations to monitor how AI bots (e.g., GPTBot, Anthropic, Google-Extended, Bytespider) interact with their sites, see per-bot and path request/violation data, and automatically enforce robots.txt policies by converting them into WAF rules to block noncompliant traffic.
