Ars Technica AI says Google clarifies K–12 AI policy, with Search needing separate opt-in

According to Ars Technica AI, Google is clarifying its new K–12 school AI policy after criticism from educators and parents. In a blog post, the company said schools using Google apps will need to opt into its AI products. Google also counts Search as part of that AI portfolio, so logged-in student accounts require a separate school setting to keep search enabled. Google says the change gives schools more control over their internal AI policies.
