Google 通知学校：2027 年起关闭 AI 将一并失去搜索
Schools that turn off Google's AI will lose search too starting in 2027
AI 导读
Google 计划从 2027 年初起向学校提出二选一：要么接受面向学生的 AI 功能，要么失去 Google Search 访问权限。
摘要与补充说明
Gemini、Gemini Notebook 和 Google Search 在学生账号中默认关闭，学校可逐项开启，但不再提供不含 AI 的搜索版本。Google 教育副总裁 Chris Phillips 称搜索与 AI 已紧密融合、难以拆分。选择开启搜索的学校有两种模式：带完整 AI 概览和 AI 对话的搜索，或带 Guided Learning 的搜索，后者引导学生自行找到答案而非直接给出。

Starting in early 2027, Google will give schools an ultimatum: accept AI for students or lose access to Google Search entirely. Gemini, Gemini Notebook, and Google Search will all be off by default for student accounts. Schools can turn each one on individually. But a version of search without AI? That's no longer on the table. The New York Times broke the story first. Google's vice president for education, Chris Phillips, said search and AI have become too tightly fused to pull apart.
Google recently flipped AI features on by default inside its learning platform Classroom for schools with Gemini access. That move drew backlash, and the company is now reversing course. Schools that choose to enable search will get two flavors: search with full AI overviews and AI chat, or search with "Guided Learning," a mode designed to steer students toward answers rather than hand them over directly.
None of this happens in a vacuum. Google dominates the US school market with Chromebooks, Gmail, and Classroom. Education professor Morgan Polikoff called the move a textbook case of the tech industry shoving AI onto people whether they want it or not. The country's two largest school districts, New York City and Los Angeles, had already pulled back on AI for students in September. Los Angeles specifically wanted to keep using Google Search without AI overviews. Google won't let them.
