You can block artificial intelligence (AI) bots, crawlers, and scrapers from scraping your website content and training large language models (LLM) to recreate it without your permission.

When you enable this feature, all verified bots that are classified as AI Search, AI Assistant, AI Crawler, or an Archiver, as well as a number of unverified bots that fall into the [verified bot categories](/bots/reference/verified-bot-categories/) are blocked. It does not block verified bots that fall into the Search Engine categories.

Refer to [Cloudflare Radar](https://radar.cloudflare.com/traffic/verified-bots) for examples of verified bots.

:::note
Some AI bots overlap with definitely automated bots and verified bots, the latter becoming verified AI bots.
