Human Native is joining Cloudflare

Cloudflare announced the acquisition of Human Native, a UK-based AI data marketplace, to strengthen licensed, high-quality data access and structured content for AI systems. The post outlines tools such as AI Crawl Control, Pay Per Crawl, and the AI Index to give content owners control over how AI accesses and uses their content, and introduces the x402 Foundation with Coinbase to enable machine-to-machine payments. Together, these efforts aim to build sustainable, creator-respecting economic models for the Internet in the AI era.
