49% of @fastly’s traffic is bots, and Simon Wistow explains how we’re moving to a bot-first web. People Inc.’s Lindsay Van Kirk also took the stage at #TechLabSummit to talk about how, after moving from a blocklist to an allowlist, they are now blocking up to 30K bots a day!

Accurate AI = accurate information! At #TechLabSummit, Jessica Chan from @perplexity_ai shared how AI models are constantly changing depending on the job requirements. Errors not only cause confusion but also erode trust, and trust is earned through transparency
Did you agree or disagree with @ethyca’s hot takes on AI and privacy infrastructure? Ethan Lo and #IABTechLab’s Rowena Lam talked about how fulfilling privacy obligations can actually improve AI outputs and how, by using PETs, you can anonymize data enough to help AI learn more
