Verifying bots and agents with cryptography in the age of AI
In this episode, host João Tomé is joined in Cloudflare’s Lisbon office by Cloudflare Senior Research Engineer Thibault Meunier to explore a new proposal that could reshape how bots interact with the web in the age of AI.
We go into Cloudflare’s proposal of using cryptographic signatures for bots, enabling websites to verify their identity. Why is this important? As AI systems rely increasingly on online content, this standard could help build a better relationship between content creators and AI platforms.
To wrap up, Principal Engineer Kevin Guthrie walks us through the blog post “Performance measurements… and the people who love them”, which explores how teams can better measure, visualize, and communicate web performance, beyond raw metrics.
