Publishers will be able to opt out of AI Search, thanks to new regulation

# Google Must Let Websites Opt Out of AI Search U.K. regulators have ordered Google to give website publishers a way to prevent their content from being used in Google's AI-powered search results. This means if you run a website, you'll soon be able to tell Google "don't use my articles to train or answer questions in AI search"—a tool that will first launch in the U.K. before rolling out worldwide. The move gives publishers more control over how their work appears in AI features, rather than having it used automatically.
U.K. regulators are requiring Google offer a tool allowing website publishers to opt-out of generative AI search features. The option will be tested in the U.K. then rolled out globally.
