Websites are closing their doors to AI agents

Leading AI companies like OpenAI, Meta, and Google have launched autonomous AI agents designed to perform online tasks for users, but many major websites including Amazon, Yelp, and Delta Air Lines are blocking these agents due to data licensing, security, and business concerns. Legal battles, such as Amazon's lawsuit against Perplexity, highlight the growing conflict over AI agents' access to web services and ecommerce platforms.
