Last week, Google announced a new artificial intelligence (AI) policy for schools that use Google apps. It provides new settings for opting in or out of AI products on student accounts. For schools that reject AI in the classroom entirely, they can also turn off search. Speaking to The New York Times, Google’s vice president for education, Chris Phillips, noted that “search and AI are deeply integrated”. This led to headlines claiming there’s no longer a way to use Google search without AI.
