This session explores the symbiotic relationship between web scraping and artificial intelligence that's transforming how developers build data-driven applications. Discover how machine learning is solving web scraping's biggest challenges - from bypassing sophisticated anti-bot measures with ML-powered response recognition to building adaptive parsers that automatically handle website structure changes. We'll explore practical use cases: training AI models with scraped data, powering real-time generation systems, and building resilient data pipelines that don't break when websites update. You'll learn how AI transforms web scraping from a maintenance nightmare into a strategic advantage, whether you're building recommendation engines, training custom models, or creating intelligent data collection systems. ## Speaker ### [Vidas Bacevičius](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/@vidas-bacevicius) Vidas Bacevičius, Solutions Engineer at Oxylabs ## Related talks at this congress - [How to scrape modern websites to feed AI agents](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/events/world-congress-2025/sessions/590-how-to-scrape-modern) — Jan Curn - [AI and LLM in .NET: Transforming Big Data Analysis](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/events/world-congress-2025/sessions/463-ai-and-llm-in-net) — Mehdi - [Learn to Build Agentic AI Workflows for Enterprise Applications](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/events/world-congress-2025/sessions/730-learn-to-build) — Lavinia Ghita, Ziv Ilan - [Beyond AI Readiness: Scaling Data-Driven Engineering for Next-Gen Software & Infrastructure](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/events/world-congress-2025/sessions/513-beyond-ai-readiness) — Eduard, Jannis Eickenroth, Sophie Kleinke
