The UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has ordered Google to change how it uses publishers' content in its AI-powered search results, a move with global implications.
Under the new rules, news websites will be given the power to block their content from being used in AI summaries generated by Google. This decision stems from the CMA's authority to set bespoke rules for major tech firms deemed to have 'strategic market status'.
Google, the world's largest search engine, is one of the companies subject to these regulations. The watchdog's intervention aims to address concerns over the use of publishers' material without consent or compensation.
