What it is¶
A survey of open access repositories on the impact of AI bots and crawlers. It reports how repositories experience and respond to automated traffic.
Role in the record¶
- Grounds BP02: open resources face heavy automated load and blunt blocking also blocks real users.
- Grounds BP03: the case for identified, shapeable agent traffic.
