Who gets to decide when and how school kids use A.I?

A U.S. senator urges Google to give schools a switch to turn off student access to the A.I. features in search.

Google is trying to use its monopoly power to force AI into our public schools.

No corporation should have the power to dictate how we teach our children. 

Our public schools exist to serve students, not to grow the profit margins of Big Tech.

www.nytimes.com Google Will Turn Off Search for Schools That Reject A.I. Google is making it easier to restrict its A.I. tools for students. But schools that block A.I. entirely will lose student access to Google’s search engine.
