Students using Google search in classroom accounts will need access to AI tools, the company says

Google has announced a new policy regarding its search tool for students using school accounts. Access to Google Search will be restricted for students unless their school system simultaneously provides access to artificial intelligence tools. This decision impacts how students can utilize Google’s services for educational purposes.

• Google’s search tool will not be available to students using school accounts without AI tool access.
• This policy applies to students whose schools utilize Google software.
• The requirement is for the school system to provide access to artificial intelligence tools alongside Google Search.
