june 4th, according to 9to5Google According to the report, Google will add a new opt-out (exit) control to the Search Console, allowing the owner of the site to decide whether its content appears in AI Mode, AI Overviews, and Google Discover. The site continues to appear in regular Google search results and Discover information streams after it chooses to exit。
Google states that this setting will not be used as a regular search ranking signal and Gemini applications are not within this control. At the same time, Search Console adds a new generation of AI search statistics, including the number of displays in AI responses, which pages appear in AI responses, and which countries or areas respond。
Google also revealed that AI Overviews has more than 2.5 billion active users and AI Mode has more than 1 billion active users. The new control items and statistics will be tested first for the owners of the British part of the site and then progressively globally。
