Google在拒绝其AI功能的学校完全关闭Search,公司告诉"纽约时报". Google在星期二也提供更广泛的教育相关更新,表示在课堂上访问Gemini、Gemini Notebook、Gemini和Google搜索
Google 完全无法在学校搜索
拒绝GoogleAI的学校学生会看到搜索没有通知。
然而,管理员将无法选择在不丧失搜索功能的情况下切换Gemini的功能。 Google的教育副总裁克里斯·菲利普斯(Chris Phillips)对NYT说,“搜索和人工智能是深入融合的,”并补充说,Google的人工智能功能“将无法进入搜索系统,他们会看到他们学校的讯息表明它不存在。 Google并没有立即回应The Verge的征求意见请求。
Google在Google教室应用软件内默认打开其Gemini AI助手,全球超过1.5亿名师生使用该软件。 Google在学校中引入AI,却因测试分数下降及其他影响学生学习能力,上月,立法者将Google压在将AI产品放入学校的“潜在伤害”上。 虽然Google默认不再在学校开启AI特性,但这种选择是费钱的。
该公司还试图解决学生使用AI特征寻找“短路”而不是自行解决问题的问题。 Google正在将它的"指导学习"功能(Guided Learning expect)嵌入其AI Overviews in Search中,该功能本应帮助学生通过问题而工作。 Google本月将在部分美国学校开始测试此功能。

Google is completely turning off Search in schools that reject its AI features, the company told The New York Times. The decision was also shared in a broader education-related update from Google on Tuesday, saying that access to Gemini, Gemini Notebook, Gemini in Classroom, and Google Search “will be entirely off” for K-12 student accounts unless “administrators explicitly turn them on.”
Google is entirely disabling Search in schools that don’t want AI
Students in schools that reject Google’s AI will see notices that Search isn’t available.
Administrators will not be given the option to toggle Gemini-powered features off without disabling Search, however. Chris Phillips, Google’s vice president of education, told the NYT, “Search and AI are deeply integrated,” adding that schools that disable Google’s AI features “will not have access to Search, and they’ll see a message from their school that indicates it’s not available.” Google didn’t immediately respond to The Verge’s request for comment.
The announcement comes just months after Google turned its Gemini AI assistant on by default inside the Google Classroom app, which is used by more than 150 million teachers and students globally. The move added to skepticism surrounding Google’s introduction of AI in schools amid reports of declining test scores and other impacts on students’ learning abilities. Last month, lawmakers pressed Google on the “potential harms” of putting its AI products in schools. Although Google is no longer turning on AI features in schools by default, this choice comes at a cost.
The company is also attempting to address concerns about students using its AI features to find “shortcuts” instead of solving problems themselves. Google is embedding its Guided Learning feature, which is supposed to help students work through problems, into its AI Overviews in Search. Google will begin testing this feature in select US schools this month.
