Google told schools that it will offer AI tools that do not give away answers, but schools that restrict AI will lose access to Google Search. The New York Times reported that Search is being turned off for K-12 student accounts unless administrators explicitly turn it on. A broader education update from Google said access to Gemini, Gemini in Classroom, and Search will be entirely off for K-12 student accounts by default. Administrators cannot toggle Gemini features off without also disabling Search.
