Google 将在拒绝 AI 功能的学校完全关闭搜索
Google is entirely disabling Search in schools that don’t want AI
- 1Google 将在拒绝其 AI 功能的学校完全关闭搜索，管理员无法只关 Gemini 保留搜索
- 2K-12 学生账号的 Gemini 系列功能与 Google 搜索将默认整体关闭，除非管理员显式开启
- 3Google 教育副总裁 Chris Phillips 称搜索与 AI 深度整合，关闭 AI 的学校将看到不可用提示
- 4此前超 1.5 亿师生使用的 Classroom 已默认开启 Gemini，上月美国议员曾质询 AI 进校园的潜在危害
Google 把搜索与 AI 绑定为二选一，学校拒绝 AI 就得整体放弃搜索，退出 AI 的选项被收窄。
- 影响：依赖 Google 教育套件的学校在采购上只剩全开或全关两种选择，对 AI 顾虑多就要承担失去搜索的代价；厂商在舆论与议员压力下反复改动默认设置，机构选型时需把功能绑定风险计入依赖评估。
- 参考：学校可先盘点师生对 Google 搜索与 Gemini 功能的实际依赖，再决定哪些账号显式开启；对 AI 暴露顾虑较大的机构，值得同步评估替代搜索方案或补充教学工具。
- 依据：该决定由 Google 告知纽约时报并见于其官方教育更新，副总裁关于搜索与 AI 深度整合的说法为官方口径，The Verge 求证未获即时回复。

Google is completely turning off Search in schools that reject its AI features, the company told The New York Times. The decision was also shared in a broader education-related update from Google on Tuesday, saying that access to Gemini, Gemini Notebook, Gemini in Classroom, and Google Search “will be entirely off” for K-12 student accounts unless “administrators explicitly turn them on.”
Administrators will not be given the option to toggle Gemini-powered features off without disabling Search, however. Chris Phillips, Google’s vice president of education, told the NYT, “Search and AI are deeply integrated,” adding that schools that disable Google’s AI features “will not have access to search, and they’ll see a message from their school that indicates it’s not available.” Google didn’t immediately respond to The Verge’s request for comment.
The announcement comes just months after Google turned its Gemini AI assistant on by default inside the Google Classroom app, which is used by more than 150 million teachers and students globally. The move added to skepticism surrounding Google’s introduction of AI in schools amid reports of declining test scores and other impacts on students’ learning abilities. Last month, lawmakers pressed Google on the “potential harms” of putting its AI products in schools. Though Google is no longer turning on AI features in schools by default, this choice comes at a cost.
The company is also attempting to address concerns about students using its AI features to find “shortcuts” instead of solving problems themselves. Google is embedding its Guided Learning feature, which is supposed to help students work through problems, into its AI Overviews in Search. Google will begin testing this feature in select US schools this month.
