The policy requires opting into Google's AI portfolio, but gives schools full control to disable all AI features including search if they choose.
Background
Google has been aggressively pushing AI integration into its education products, with Gemini-powered tools becoming central to its classroom offerings. The company's education division accounts for a significant portion of its enterprise revenue.
