Chicago schools tell Google they'd rather lose Search than be forced to use AI

This feels like an own goal by Google. It is reasonable for schools to want to ban what not only amounts to a cheating tool but also something that may hamper development of advanced skills in a critical period for students. Go and work with the school to create a policy and you can be perceived as a good guy in a field where the public really hates everyone else in the industry. Also, that gives you more input on what the policy will be rather than a blanket ban.

I don't have a lot of confidence in the decision of the Chicago schools. AI will be a fundamental tool in the future. Knowing how to use it effectively is as important as knowing how to read.
