NYC Mayor Mamdani accuses Google of forcing AI into schools

Original: 📰 Google criticized by NYC mayor Zohran Mamdani following AI policy change: 'Google is trying to use its monopoly power

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has publicly criticized Google after the company changed its policy for schools, disabling search functionality for those that opt out of its AI tools. Mamdani accused the company of 'using its monopoly power to force AI into our public schools,' and other officials have joined the criticism of the move.

Why now: Google's decision to tie search access to AI adoption in schools has drawn sharp political pushback, raising concerns about monopoly power in public education.
