# Aug 13, 2026 – AI-powered WAF detections

New features:

Programmatic management for WAF detections. You can now programmatically manage your AI-powered WAF detections using the new [Akamai APIs](https://techdocs.akamai.com/application-security/update/reference/waf-rules-ai-rules) . This lets you automate your security workflows to defend against high-speed WAF threats using Akamai's human-monitored discriminative and generative AI models.
