Google to auto-disable Gemini AI and Search for K-12 accounts unless schools opt in

Google said it automatically disabled its Gemini generative AI tools and Google Search for K-12 student accounts unless school administrators explicitly opted the features back a move that drew criticism from educators and officials. The company had previously announced that schools could choose to enable the AI tools, but that opting out would also turn off Search for those accounts. Google later emphasized that AI is integral to Search and warned that blocking the tools would block search access, prompting further criticism.
