Schools Must Actively Enable Google Search for Students
4 Nov
Summary
- Google Search will require schools to opt-in for K-12 student access.
- AI features in Google Search will be included with the opt-in.
- This change affects how K-12 students access Google's search engine.
Starting soon, K-12 schools will need to take an active step to provide their students with access to Google Search. Alphabet Inc.'s Google announced on Tuesday that the search engine will no longer be automatically available to students.
Instead, educational institutions must now opt-in to grant their K-12 students access. This new policy means that when schools enable Google Search, they will simultaneously be enabling the AI features that are built into the platform.
Chris Phillips, Google's vice president and general manager, is overseeing these changes. The implications for student access to information and AI tools are significant for many schools.
