Google will let schools skip AI tools, but they have to give up search, too
Summary
Ars Technica reports that Google will let K-12 schools opt out of its AI tools, but doing so would remove access to Google Search. The policy covers Gemini, Gemini Notebook, Gemini in Classroom, and Google Search, with a default opt-out. Google plans a dual AI-in-search approach (standard Gemini AI and a Guided Learning version) to provide tutoring without automatically giving away answers.
