Should publishers block AI bots from scraping their content?

Eric Shanfelt joins the Local Media Association to take an in-depth look at whether publishers should block AI bots from their websites and, if so, how to do it. He explains the tradeoffs between AI visibility and website traffic, then walks through simple, real-world defenses you can implement without overcomplicating your stack. You will learn: -Traffic vs visibility: which matters more right now -How to use robots.txt (and what not to block) -How a firewall service like Cloudflare or Amazon Web Services can help -Why local publishers should consider blocking international traffic -The “back door” way AI bots can still index your sites. We’d like to extend a huge thanks to the Local Media Association for hosting this session and for the work they do every day to support local publishers.
