Summary

By 2030, the internet will be accessed by billions of AI agents, serving both beneficial and harmful purposes. While enterprises use platforms like Browserbase for task automation, malicious actors exploit AI for fraud and copyright violations, necessitating a change in the trust model between users and anti-bot providers. Companies like Browserbase, Perplexity, and Cloudflare are working to prevent bot farms and abuse by fostering cooperation between agent users, anti-bot providers, and website owners to promote legitimate use while curbing misuse. The solution involves creating a trust-first model where agents are authorized, monitored, and restricted if found abusive, with a strong identity framework ensuring transparency and collaboration. Browserbase is actively engaging with leading anti-bot providers and authentication companies to develop and implement scalable solutions, emphasizing the importance of partnerships across the industry to maintain an open and secure internet.
