Google introduces Google-Extended, allowing publishers to opt out of data usage for AI training.

Google has introduced a new tool called Google-Extended, which allows website publishers to opt out of having their data used to train the company's AI models while still being accessible through Google Search. The tool, available through robots.txt, enables publishers to control access to their content and manage whether their sites contribute to improving Google's AI models. Google plans to explore additional ways to provide choice and control for web publishers as AI applications expand.
