UK regulators force Google to offer AI search opt-out for publishers
ByPulseAugur Editorial·[24 sources]·
UK regulators have mandated that Google must provide publishers with the ability to opt out of having their content used in AI-powered search features like AI Overviews. This decision, described as a "world first," aims to give publishers more control and leverage in negotiating content deals with Google. Additionally, Google is required to ensure proper attribution and clear links to publisher content within AI-generated search results, and cannot penalize publishers for opting out.
