Hi Creatives! 👋 

This week, we're unpacking how AI is evolving across industries – from Cloudflare’s latest move to block AI crawlers with a single click to Lionsgate’s partnership with Runway.

Here’s what’s on the agenda this week:

• 🚀 Cloudflare’s Tools for Creators: Block or Monetize AI Access to Your Content

• 🎥 Lionsgate Partners with AI Firm Runway

• 🌐 AI Education on the Rise: OpenAI Academy & Google's $120M AI Education Fund

• 🎥 James Cameron Joins Stability AI’s Board of Directors

• 🌟 C.A.S.H. Camp

🚀 Cloudflare’s Tools for Creators: Block or Monetize AI Access to Your Content

Cloudflare is rolling out two features for content creators:

A One-Click AI Crawler Block that lets you control which AI bots can access your content. This move is part of Cloudflare’s effort to ensure that creators can protect their work from unauthorized use by AI companies.

A New Marketplace that allows you to monetize your content when AI bots scrape it for training. This innovative move aims to let content creators and website owners monetize the data that AI models often access for training.

This development could potentially shift the dynamics towards a more equitable digital landscape, where individual creators have more control over their content and how it's used.

However, I wonder: Will this marketplace truly benefit individual creators, or will it primarily serve larger entities?
