Google announced that software used by students in US K-12 schools will have all AI features disabled by default unless school administrators actively choose to enable them, responding to educators' and parents' desire to control children's interactions with AI. Chris Phillips, Google's vice president of education, said that Search and AI are now deeply integrated, and if schools disable AI, students will be unable to use Search. US K-12 schools widely use Google's Gmail, Docs, and Classroom, and Chromebooks are also the most commonly used laptops in schools.
