AI audits and 'pay per crawl': How Cloudflare is trying to fix a 'broken' web model
An announcement from network giant Cloudflare is deepening a divide between the worlds of tech and content publishing, which are at odds over the data used to train AI platforms. Cloudflare said publishers using the cloud company's tools for hosting websites will now block AI crawlers by default from accessing and poaching content without permission. 'Upon sign-up with Cloudflare, every new domain will now be asked if they want to allow AI crawlers, giving customers the choice upfront to explicitly allow or deny AI crawlers access,' the company said. 'This significant shift means that every new domain starts with the default of control, and eliminates the need for webpage owners to manually configure their settings to opt out.' Cloudflare first addressed concerns about AI data-scraping last year when it gave websites the option to block AI companies from poaching content. 'Now by default you have control over who crawls your site and what that information is used for,' said Stephanie Cohen, a chief strategy officer for Cloudflare. 'The benefit of that is that it creates the conditions for a new business model of the internet to develop,' she told The National after Cloudflare introduced the new settings and options. Some of the strongest proponents of AI tools, and many of the tools' creators, have justified data scraping, saying it is akin to the early days of search engines when controversy briefly surfaced over whether or not search companies should be able to index sites. Others say that comparison isn't appropriate, because search engines didn't poach the contents of entire websites. Additionally, during the early days of web browsers, search engines and the crawlers they implemented provided a framework that built much of the internet as we know it. It was a win-win situation for the likes of Google and media companies which provided information and sought to attract audiences by delivering web traffic through internet searches. The debut of OpenAI's ChatGPT in 2022 and other AI platforms turned that economic model on its head. Instead of directing traffic to websites, AI summaries have quickly become a destination unto themselves, siphoning traffic from the same websites from which they scrape data. Ms Cohen said publishers and content creators using Cloudflare's services soon noticed a major dip in web traffic. 'Not only was it getting more difficult to get web traffic – to the tune of it being 10 times harder – but it was also getting more difficult at a faster and faster rate,' she said. The web's economics based on search that built up over the last decade, she said, started to erode over a period of six months. In 2024, Ms Cohen said Cloudflare allowed users to see which AI companies were scraping their sites and turn off that ability. This year they are taking things further by introducing 'pay per crawl'. The tool gives publishers and website operators the option of allowing AI scraping for free, charging for it 'at the configured domain-wide price,' or blocking scraping entirely. As AI developments quickens, so too does the bad blood between media organisations and the tech firms driving the AI boom. Several lawsuits have been filed. The New York Times has sued OpenAI and Microsoft for allegedly using its articles to power increasingly popular chatbots.

GCC wealth management transformed as investors embrace AI and demand transparent solutions with strong returns
The GCC's wealth management sector is undergoing a seismic shift, with clients demanding more personalised, AI-powered, and transparent financial services, according to the 2025 EY Global Wealth Research Report. The study reveals that 55 per cent of GCC investors have increased engagement with financial advisors amid market volatility—significantly above the global average. Clients now expect wealth managers to deliver a more holistic service, placing as much emphasis on financial wellbeing and product variety as on portfolio performance. GCC wealth management Multihoming is on the rise, with 36 per cent of GCC investors looking to increase their number of wealth management relationships. Almost half (50 per cent) are open to working with multiple providers—highlighting a growing trend toward diversification and lower brand loyalty. Simultaneously, 69 per cent of clients are allocating capital to alternative investments, pointing to a sophisticated appetite for diversification. Mayur Pau, EY MENA Financial Services Leader, said: 'The EY Global Wealth Research Report shows that longstanding assumptions in wealth management are being disrupted by accelerating economic shifts and rapid technological change. 'This is heightening the urgency for wealth managers to offer more clarity, agility, and proactive guidance in an environment defined by uncertainty. 'Clients also expect greater depth and breadth of the product shelf than ever. Wealth management firms must be prepared to understand the drivers of satisfaction and ensure they are optimized independently of prevailing market conditions.' The GCC leads globally in investor trust in artificial intelligence. While just 6 per cent of North American clients trust AI-powered advice, the figure rises to 13 per cent in the GCC. More than 70 per cent of regional investors expect financial managers to integrate AI into their services—especially younger and mass affluent clients. Despite this enthusiasm, clients remain cautious. Key concerns include data misuse and the reliability of AI-generated insights. Experts say the solution lies in education, transparency, and ethics-driven AI implementation. Hamdan Khan, Partner, EY MENA Wealth and Asset Management, said: 'With investors increasingly expecting AI-powered solutions and holistic wealth management approaches, firms must act swiftly to align their strategies with these evolving demands. 'By investing in AI technologies, enhancing client engagement and prioritizing ethical data practices, wealth managers can position themselves for success in a rapidly changing landscape. 'The future of wealth management is not just about managing assets; it's about building relationships, fostering trust and leveraging technology to create exceptional client experiences.' Unlike global trends, 27 per cent of GCC clients are still comfortable with percentage-based fees on assets under management—compared to only 15 per cent globally. Subscription models and fixed fees are less favoured. However, confidence in fee transparency is rising, with over 90 per cent of clients believing they are being charged fairly. Still, performance speaks loudest. The top two reasons GCC investors switch providers are: Better investment performance and returns (55 per cent) Wider product and service offerings (53 per cent) Only 26 per cent said lower fees would prompt a provider switch, showing that value and results matter more than cost alone. The EY report concludes that successful firms must realign their models to match evolving expectations. That means investing in AI, expanding access to alternative investments, improving pricing structures, and focusing on comprehensive, client-first advice.
