Alphabet's Google Reportedly to Cut Search Access for Schools That Restrict AI

12:34 PM EST, 11/03/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Alphabet's (GOOG, GOOGL) Google has told schools seeking to fully restrict access to AI tools that they will also lose access to Google Search, multiple media outlets reported Tuesday. Search and AI are now deeply integrated, meaning schools cannot fully restrict AI tools while retaining access to Search, the reports said, citing Chris Phillips, vice president for education at Google. Google said Tuesday it was updating Google Search and Google Classroom with Guided Learning capabilities, which help primary and secondary school students work through problems without "skipping straight to answers." Google did not immediately reply to a request for comment from MT Newswires. Price: 278.95, Change: +0.91, Percent Change: +0.33
