What happened

Google activated Gemini for 150 million K-12 students via Google Classroom in August, and a later off-switch also disabled Google Search for administrators. After backlash, Google said Gemini, Gemini notebook and Search will have their own controls, all off by default. The EFF argues schools, not Google, should decide on generative AI and that clear, persistent admin settings are needed.

What to do

Administrators should check the separate Gemini, Gemini notebook and Search controls in Google Classroom settings.
Confirm that AI features remain off until the school has decided whether to enable them.
