UK press can opt out of AI search overviews

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The UK press has gained the ability to opt out of being included in AI overviews generated by search engines. This decision, stemming from actions by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), allows publishers to retain control over their content's appearance in AI-driven search results. By opting out, news organizations can ensure their articles remain accessible through traditional search listings rather than being summarized by AI. AI

IMPACT This policy shift could influence how AI models access and present news content, potentially impacting publisher revenue and user access to information.
