Google to turn off search for schools that don’t want students using AI
The Washington Post's live-updates page leads with Google's announcement that AI tools including Gemini and Google search will be disabled by default on K-12 student accounts unless administrators opt in, a shift that drew outrage and a Zohran Mamdani accusation that Google is using monopoly power to force AI into schools, though Google says it is responding to parents and teachers. The page also follows the Trump administration's bid to dismiss a suit over his planned 250-foot Arlington arch, a marathoner's death from rhabdomyolysis, Alaska's slow Senate count, falling U.S. home prices, pollsters' new methods, and the College Football Playoff's first rankings.
