GoKawiilMamdani accuses Google of tying school search access to AI adoption
NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani criticized Google after the company said schools that fully disable its AI features in educational software will also lose access to Google Search. Google had announced it would turn off AI tools by default unless administrators opt in, but its education VP Chris Phillips said search and AI are now too intertwined to separate, a claim first reported by the New York Times.
