Bozeman School District reacts to Google AI policy as access rules change

BOZEMAN, MONT. — A new Google policy could affect how schools use the search engine and its AI tools with student accounts. Google announced on Tuesday that K-12 schools would not have access to its search engine if they rejected the tech companies' AI policies. District officials in Montana sa y Google is giving schools the authority to decide whether they want AI features turned on as part of Google Search. As default, the AI features within Google are turned off for students, unless school administrators decide to access them. For Bozeman, that decision comes down to whether the district chooses to use AI in the classroom. Currently, the district does not have a policy regarding artificial intelligence. "It's going to be dependent on our district policy whether or not we engage with AI or not. The search, the AI tools are always going to be there, but it's going to be our policy whether or not we are going to engage with AI," said Mike Van Vuren, deputy superintendent for the Bozeman School District. Van Vuren explained that while the Bozeman school district does not have a specific policy regarding AI in place, they are open to using it
