Bot or Not Isn’t Good Enough: Rethinking Bot Protection for the Age of AI Agents

Most bot management tools were designed for a different era — one where automation could be spotted by mouse movements, or browser fingerprinting. But in today’s world of AI agents and headless automation, that approach no longer works. According to Forrester, 53% of Gen Z consumers are already interested in using AI agents to browse, transact, and make decisions online. These agents bypass front-end JavaScript challenges and directly interact with APIs, making traditional bot defenses blind to their activity.

In this session, we’ll break down how bot threats have evolved, why the lines between bots, fraud, and AI agents are collapsing, and how Traceable’s third-generation bot protection brings intent, API flow, and behavioral context into every detection decision.
