Ditch Palantir, MPs say

Good morning, today I'm going to my favourite place in Norwich, an old shoe factory.

Happening Today 📆

Opting out: Publishers will be able to opt-out of having their content used in Google’s AI search features under changes announced by the Competition and Markets Authority this morning. They will have more control over whether their content is used in AI overviews and fine-tuning AI models, something news groups have long called for. Google will also have to clearly attribute publishers’ content when it is used in AI-generated search results. The new rules are the first “conduct requirements” placed on Google under the CMA's search investigation which opened last January.

Let's do it: A vision to make the Oxford-Cambridge corridor one of the top innovation clusters in the world will be set out today by Chancellor Rachel Reeves and science minister Patrick Vallance.

First appearance: The Sovereign AI Unit's new managing partner Suzanne Ashman is talking at SXSW this morning with Hannah Maden, the co-founder of Prima Mente, one of the first companies to get backing from the unit. Other speakers today include Wes Streeting, Tim Berners-Lee and president of Isomorphic Labs Max Jaderberg.

Away from SXSW: TechUK and Scale host an event on building sovereign AI with investment minister Jason Stockwood.

Evening Plans: The Fleet Street Festival of Words ends with Tim Wu, a former adviser to Joe Biden on tech policy, talking to ex-minister Damian Collins about his latest book, The Age of Extraction.
