Google: Schools can keep search while skipping Gemini, but AI search is non-negotiable
摘要
Google本周发布K-12学校AI新政策引发教育者和家长不满。此前有报道称，拒绝使用AI的学校将被切断搜索访问。Google随后澄清：使用Google应用的学校需主动选择启用AI产品，由于搜索被归入AI产品组合，学校需为登录的学生账户单独开启该功能。Google教育副总裁接受采访时被解读为“拒绝AI就关闭搜索”，但实际做法是让学校根据自身AI政策决定是否启
Google faced the ire of educators and parents earlier this week when it announced a new AI policy for K–12 schools. Google said that it developed its new approach to give schools more control, but early reporting also suggested Google would block search access for schools that didn't want to use AI. Google didn't see the backlash coming, but now that it's here, the search giant is clarifying what exactly its new policy means and what's changing.
The gist of the new policy, according to Google's blog post, is that schools using Google apps will have to opt into its AI products going forward. Since the company considers search part of its AI portfolio (Gemini, Gemini Notebook, Gemini in Classroom, and Search), schools have to specifically turn that on for logged-in student accounts.
When Google revealed its new policy, the company's VP for education spoke exclusively to The New York Times, which interpreted the situation as Google will "turn off search" if schools reject AI. This has a nefarious vibe, but it's probably not the most accurate way to describe how Google's educational AI system will operate. Google's approach may not be entirely altruistic, but it technically offers schools more choice and control than they have now. Instead of Google turning off search, it will let schools make that decision based on their internal AI policies.
