How to Let AI Know You (Without Letting It Steal Your Work)
AI is moving fast. And as it floods the internet with synthetic content, something interesting is starting to happen — people are moving back to owned spaces. Personal websites. Direct relationships. Content they actually control.
This Working Session is about taking that control back.
In 90 minutes we'll implement tiered AI access control on your website together: allowing AI to reference your bio and credentials while blocking your creative content from being used for training without your permission. You'll leave with something actually built, not just a framework to think about.
What we'll cover: — How AI scraping works and why it matters — Setting up a robots.txt file with tiered permissions — Creating an AI usage policy for your site — Cloudflare tools for advanced access control — How to verify it's working
Format: 60 min working session + 30 min live Q&A Date: Wednesday February 25th at 7pm EST Host: Angela Benton
This is the first Working Session inside The New Internet — a body of thought exploring what it means to own your place on the internet before AI makes that decision for you.
