Google will let schools disable its AI tools, but not without sacrificing Search

Google announced that schools can now opt out of its AI‑driven features, such as Bard‑powered answers in Search, after mounting pressure from educators worried about misinformation, privacy and the impact on learning.

By tightening access, Apple joins other tech firms that have begun imposing age limits on social‑interaction platforms, aiming to protect younger users while preserving the market for adult‑focused services. The new rules, which take effect later this month, will force developers to redesign onboarding flows and could
