Google has announced it will block search access for students in schools that refuse to use its AI tools, a move that follows growing concerns about AI’s effect on children’s education, academic integrity and critical thinking. The decision arrives as the Mountain View firm faces pushback from educators, child‑development experts and parents over its technology in schools.

Google’s statement framed the policy as giving “schools control.”
