LONDON (AP) \u2014 Google must allow news sites to opt out of having their online content scraped to feed AI overviews and other artificial intelligence services and features for British users, regulators said Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The Competition and Markets Authority said it was ordering Google to give online publishers the option, in what it called a \u201cworld first.\u201d<\/p>\n

The watchdog is seeking to loosen the U.S. tech giant\u2019s stranglehold on the U.K\u2019s online search market by using new digital powers to force changes to the company\u2019s business practices.<\/p>\n

Under the decision, Google will have to give publishers \u201ceffective tools\u201d to prevent their content from being used to power the company\u2019s generative artificial intelligence services and its AI search features like AI Overviews and AI Mode.<\/p>\n

Google will also have to properly cite publisher content in AI-generated search resulted by using clear links, and let publishers opt out of having their content used to fine-tune AI models.<\/p>\n

The watchdog said the decision will give publishers a stronger hand when negotiating content deals with Google. Publishers are defined as anyone who puts content on the web that\u2019s available to people in Britain.<\/p>\n

The CMA\u2019s ruling was expected, because it had released draft proposals at the start of the year after using its new digital powers to label Google a \u201cstrategic\u201d player in online search advertising.<\/p>\n

It previously found that news publishers had suffered a drop in traffic since Google rolled out its AI Overviews \u2014 summaries that appear at the top of some search queries \u2014 because fewer users are clicking through to the original articles.<\/p>\n

The watchdog said its requirements will also apply to big changes that Google unveiled in May, which further embed AI in the company\u2019s search services.<\/p>\n

Google is \u201cengaging with regulators like the UK\u2019s Competition and Markets Authority to ensure website owners have the right tools as user preferences evolve,\u201d the company\u2019s general manager of search ecosystem, Mrinalini Loew, said in a blog post.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, we\u2019re beginning to test a new control that lets website owners manage how their links and content appear in generative AI Search features.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

CMA Chief Executive Sarah Cardell said the measures will result in \u201cfair treatment, greater transparency and meaningful choice for businesses and consumers\u201d and will help tens of millions of British users \u201cbetter understand and trust the information presented to them.\u201d<\/p>\n
