Kind: policy · Impact: medium

## In brief

- Families joined protests in seven cities across the US on Wednesday against Google's plans to put its AI models into schools.
- Protesters say Google aims to entrench Gemini in education, use students of all ages as test users, and build AI habits in children.
- The protests follow a Google statement made the previous week.

## Why it matters
