What it is

Fastly AI Bot Management gives site operators dedicated signals for spotting and responding to AI crawlers and AI fetchers. Its materials frame the product as a way to detect, block, intercept, or otherwise manage automated traffic that consumes content without consent or compensation.

Fastly’s product shows another major edge provider converging on AI-specific access control as a practical near-term response to unlicensed scraping.

Limitations

Fastly's offer is an enforcement and traffic-management layer, not a licensing market or rights-expression standard on its own.
