Bernie Sanders Calls Google’s AI-in-Schools Move “Extortion”

US Senator Bernie Sanders has accused Google of extortion over AI in schools. The company will switch off Search for K-12 student accounts along with its artificial intelligence (AI) tools, leaving activation to school administrators. Google says the change gives schools more control. Critics counter that AI features are built into Search, so schools cannot keep one without the other. That dispute adds political risk to the core business of parent company Alphabet. Why Students Could Lose Access to Search Google announced the update on November 3, with details for schools due in the coming months. Gemini, Gemini Notebook, Gemini in Classroom, and Search will stay off for students until administrators turn them on. At the same time, Google plans to test a homework mode inside student Search.
