Google to disable Gemini by default for K-12 students

Original: Google to make AI tools opt-in for K-12 schools by default Starting in early 2027, Google will disable Gemini and other

Google will make AI tools opt-in for K-12 schools by default, disabling Gemini and other AI features on student accounts starting in early 2027. School administrators will have to manually enable the tools if they want students to access them. The move signals Google responding to concerns about young users' exposure to AI chatbots, and gives schools more control over classroom technology decisions.

Why now: It reflects growing scrutiny of AI tools' role in children's education and tech companies' responsibility toward minors.
