AI HAS CREATED A BATTLE OVER WEB CRAWLING

A report by the Data Provenance Initiative warns that generative AI models may suffer as websites increasingly restrict crawler bots, blocking access to high-quality data. This trend, driven by fears of data misuse, could shift AI training reliance from well-maintained sources to lower-quality data. Companies may turn to synthetic data or direct licensing to maintain AI model efficacy amid growing data scarcity.
