About this video

In an interview with Amol Rajan for his BBC podcast, Radical with Amol Rajan, the CEO of cybersecurity giant Cloudflare explains how artificial intelligence is transforming the internet.

Matthew Prince’s company is blocking the AI “crawler” bots that scrape content to train large language models like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini from accessing the websites of its customers.

He hopes his decision will lead to a better deal for publishers as ‘search engines’ become ‘answer engines’ in the era of AI overviews and chatbots, which he says is having an impact on website traffic.
