Chicago parents protest Google's AI school policy

Chicago parents concerned about AI will join activists across the nation Wednesday to protest "Big tech bullies in our schools" at local Google headquarters. What happened: Google set off a firestorm — and then partially backtracked — last week when it announced it would take away Google search from any school that opts out of its artificial intelligence products like Gemini.

Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) called it "extortion" and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said "no corporation should have the power to dictate how we teach our children." The upshot: In the wake of the backlash, Google retreated on the Gemini part, but it still won't shut off generative AI Overviews on its school version of Google search. Schools must take the generative AI version or no Google search at all. What they're saying: "It's fundamentally problematic that a for-profit company is dictating the terms of how technology is operating

Where can Chicago families find top Midwest boarding schools?

While Chicago is home to some of the highest-ranked public high schools in Illinois, a standard local day school isn’t always the right fit for every child. Some teenagers thrive in smaller, highly focused learning environments where academic study, extracurriculars and social development are integrated under one roof. For these students, boarding schools offer round-the-clock access to faculty mentors, specialized research facilities and peers who share their drive.
