Google halts AI auto-on

Google announced that Gemini tools in Notebook and Classroom will no longer be turned on automatically for students from kindergarten through 12th grade. They will remain off until school administrators enable them. The controls will roll out first in the United States and then globally, with no specific timeline. However, Google says schools that ban AI will not be able to make Google Search available to students, because its intelligent features are built in. Google said the change gives schools more control amid concerns that students are using the tools to do their assignments. More than 150 million students worldwide use Classroom.
