UK Proposes Forcing Google to Let Publishers Opt Out of AI Summaries
- Wednesday the Competition and Markets Authority proposed legally binding steps to ensure publishers get a fairer deal for content used in Google’s AI Overviews, including opt-out rights for scraping.
- After labeling Google strategic in October last year, the Competition and Markets Authority said its entrenched market power caused news publishers to lose traffic after AI Overviews rolled out.
- Requiring default choice screens on Android mobiles and the Chrome browser would ease switching search services, while mandating data portability, opt-out mechanisms for publishers, transparency and citation requirements, and fair ranking obligations.

- Under the new digital market rules recently came into force, the Competition and Markets Authority used its conduct powers for the first time to boost competition and choice for UK businesses and consumers.
