    Google responds to controversy over school AI controls: disabling AI features will also disable Search

    After releasing new AI products for classrooms, Google said that if schools restrict students from using its AI tools, students will also be unable to use Google Search, sparking criticism. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Senator Bernie Sanders, and former FTC Chair Lina Khan, among others, accused Google of using its monopoly power to pressure schools into adopting AI. Google subsequently responded that Gemini, Gemini Notebook, Gemini in Classroom, and Google Search are off by default for K-12 student accounts and require explicit activation by school administrators, and said that Search's AI Mode and AI Overviews will provide step-by-step guided learning.

    How AI is changing graduate jobs: managing AI agents becomes the new work

    More and more companies are creating dedicated AI roles for graduates. For example, at London PR firm Fight or Flight, "AI associate" Lotte Underwood is responsible for managing about 30 AI agents and monitoring how clients appear in tools such as ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. PwC analyzed 2.4 million entry-level positions in the US and found that the entry-level jobs most affected by AI are 7 times more likely to require traditional advanced skills; such roles have grown 35% since 2019, while other entry-level positions have shrunk 10%. Some employers still insist that graduates rotate through the business to learn the industry, rather than working only around AI.
