According to CoinMeta, Senator Ed Markey from Massachusetts wrote a letter last week to Alphabet, the CEO of Sundar Pichai, requesting that Google allow schools to use its search service while disabling the artificial intelligence features. This move has heightened concerns about Google's promotion of artificial intelligence to schoolchildren. Last week, Google stated that it would default to turning off artificial intelligence tools for students in K-12 (from kindergarten to high school), including its search engine. However, if school administrators choose to enable Google Search, they must also accept the accompanying artificial intelligence features. In the letter, Markey pointed out: "This policy puts schools in a dilemma: either to allow students access to potentially harmful technology or to lose an important educational research tool." He said, "At a time when schools, parents, and policymakers are working hard to establish safety measures for children using artificial intelligence chatbots, Google irresponsibly forces schools to accept artificial intelligence, treating children as collateral victims."
