   UK requires Google to let publishers opt out of AI search summaries

   Britain's competition authority ruled that Google must allow news publishers to prevent their content from being used in AI-generated search summaries and training data. Google must also provide clear attribution and links back to original publisher content within its AI search results.

   News websites may regain more control over how their content appears in search results, potentially driving more traffic back to original sources rather than AI summaries.
