Publishers Worry as Google Uses AI to Summarize Content

Google is using AI like ChatGPT to create summaries of content, worrying publishers who rely on clicks for revenue.

Publishers can block their content from being used to train AI models, but not from being summarized by SGE without losing search visibility.

Publishers are concerned summaries will reduce clicks to their sites, though impact is unclear.

Publishers want compensation for Google using their content to train AI systems.

27% of top sites are blocking ChatGPT from accessing content, vs 6% blocking Google's system.
