Google plans to let schools decide whether to enable its AI tools in classrooms. Education products will have them off by default, with administrators able to switch them on manually in the coming months. But disabling AI also means losing Google Search, with no option to choose products individually.

Google says K-12 student accounts will lose access to Search along with Gemini and other AI products unless administrators enable them. Schools cannot turn off Google’s AI features without also disabling Search. Google says the tools are deeply integrated and will test Guided Learning in AI Overviews at select US schools this month.

Because AI features are now built into Google Search, schools that choose to restrict AI entirely will no longer be able to access the search engine.
