Many of you have shared your thoughts on Google’s recent decision to strong-arm schools into accepting AI features in order to use Google Search.

We strongly believe education shouldn’t be held for ransom. Here’s why, and what schools can do about it:

We also have an ongoing Kagi for Education initiative, so if you work in education and you'd like to get in touch, check out the section at the end of the post.

Google told K-12 schools they could turn off AI, but only if they gave up search too. That isn’t integration. It’s holding education for ransom.

@kagihq Will be looking closely at this in Australia. I’ve got 20,000 kids that might suddenly lose search. It’s a bit more complicated as we get Safe Search by default and a bunch of Google management tools.
