TechWebsites are closing their doors to AI agents

OpenAI, Meta, Google and others are promoting autonomous agents that can handle online tasks, but popular websites are blocking them. Yelp limits agents to those covered by its data-licensing program; Delta blocks ticket bookings by agents, while JPMorgan Chase and Charles Schwab cite security concerns in restricting account access. Amazon is also involved in a continuing legal dispute over AI shopping agents.
