Google tests Search Console toggle allowing websites to opt out of AI-generated search results
Summary
Google is testing a new toggle in Search Console that will allow websites to opt out of having their content appear in AI-generated search results. This feature comes in response to pressure from UK regulators and is designed to give publishers more leverage in content deal negotiations. Importantly, opting out will not affect a site's regular search rankings.
