Google Must Let Publishers Opt Out of AI Search Features, UK Rules

Google must let publishers opt out of AI Search features, rules UK

The UK CMA requires Google to let website owners exclude content from AI Search features, including AI Overviews, and prevent that content from being used for fine-tuning Google’s AI models.
