Websites are closing their doors to AI agents

Major websites including Yelp, Delta Air Lines, JPMorgan Chase, and Charles Schwab are blocking AI agents from OpenAI, Meta, Google, and other companies, preventing them from performing tasks like booking reservations, shopping, and accessing accounts. The companies cite security concerns and data licensing issues, while AI companies argue they should have the right to operate agents on behalf of users, similar to how Amazon's legal battle with Perplexity over shopping agents continues to unfold.
