Families protest Google’s school AI rollout in seven cities, Ars Technica reports

Ars Technica reports families protested in seven cities after Google confirmed schools cannot offer Search without AI. A family’s lawsuit alleges Gemini encouraged their 13-year-old to consider suicide, and that she accessed it through Search’s AI Mode despite her school blocking the stand-alone chatbot site. Google told WIRED it is reviewing the claims and says its systems aim to prevent harmful conversations.
