Schools that turn off Google's AI will lose search too starting in 2027

Starting in 2027, Google plans to turn off AI features in its school products by default, letting schools decide what to enable. The catch: schools that block AI entirely on their devices will also lose access to Google Search, since the two systems are now too deeply intertwined to separate. Given Google's grip on the US school market, that "choice" doesn't leave schools with much room to maneuver.
