Google Expands Gemini AI Access to Teen Students

In a recent announcement, Google revealed that its AI model, Gemini, will soon be accessible to teenage students via their school-issued Google Workspace for Education accounts. This move follows its earlier decision to offer Gemini to teens using personal accounts, reinforcing Google’s dedication to integrating AI into education.
To ensure responsible use, Google has implemented safeguards such as:

• Admin Control: School administrators can enable or disable Gemini access.
• Data Privacy: Personal data from Gemini’s use in schools won’t be used to train AI models.
• Age Requirements: Users must be 13+ in the U.S. and 18+ in the EEA, Switzerland, Canada, and the U.K.
  Gemini offers features that enhance learning, including:
• “Help Me Write”: An AI writing assistant.
• “Help Me Read”: Reading support for comprehension and vocabulary.
• Generative AI Backgrounds: Virtual environments for video calls.
• AI-Powered Noise Cancellation: Reduces background noise in online classes.
  Google is also piloting “Gemini in Classroom” tools to empower educators by providing insights into students’ learning needs and enabling personalized content delivery. This initiative underscores Google’s commitment to responsible AI implementation, data privacy, and educational empowerment, aiming to make AI a pivotal part of future education.
