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 on Wednesday.
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said it was ordering Google to give online publishers the option, in what it called a "world first".
The watchdog is seeking to loosen the US tech giant's stranglehold on the UK's online search market by using new digital powers to force changes to the company's business practices.
