Schools Want to Get Rid of Google's AI, But There's a Catch

A growing debate is happening in schools across the country as educators try to limit students' access to artificial intelligence. Teachers worry that AI-generated answers could make it easier for students to avoid doing their own research, writing, and critical thinking.

But there's a major complication. Google is integrating AI directly into its search engine, meaning schools that want to block AI features may also have to give up access to Google Search altogether.

Under Google's upcoming policy changes, expected in early 2027, schools will have to choose whether to enable Search with its built-in AI features or disable it entirely for student accounts.

This puts educators in a difficult position. They want students to have access to information without relying on AI to do the thinking for them.

The bigger question is whether technology companies should decide how much AI access children have in the classroom.

What do you think? Should schools be able to use Google Search without AI?
