City Council Speaker Julie Menin and Council Member Shekar Krishnan pressed Google on Thursday over changes that could force New York City public schools to choose between permitting AI-generated features in Google Search and losing student access to the search engine.
In a Nov. 12 letter to Google CEO Sundar Pichai, the lawmakers asked whether the company would allow students to use Google Search without AI-generated summaries, chatbot features or other generative AI tools. They requested a written response by Nov. 19.
