Google says it will switch off Gemini tools and Search by default for K–12 student accounts starting in 2027, requiring administrators to enable them. The company argues AI is deeply integrated into Search. After criticism, Google clarified that schools can turn on Search without enabling Gemini, but Search will still include AI features. Education advocates called the policy coercive, arguing schools should be able to block classroom AI while retaining conventional search. Google says its new guided-learning tools are designed to help students work through problems.
