    My company wants to block all AI sites.

    with Broadcoms absence of any category for AI sites, what are others doing?

    Hi William,

    In a month (October 2023) Broadcom will populate the URL category "Generative AI" with URLs.

    Hi William,

    I hope you are well. We have had the AI sites categorized as Application Group objects for some time, and you can use them today with the "Content Generation" Application Group as described here

    As both Matthias and Klaus have pointed out, we are also making a URL Category object on the proxy as well with this same information. More on that on this link shared before.

    I hope that helps!
