Google has been telling public schools that if they opt out of their Gemini AI, then they will not have the access to search.
Chicago Public Schools are taking door number 2.
Chicago Public Schools (CPS) has warned that it could abandon Google Search rather than force students to use the company's unwanted AI features.
A CPS spokesperson told local reporters that the district was "actively exploring all options to independently suppress" the AI Overviews appearing at the top of Google searches.
They added that if CPS cannot give students access to Google Search without its AI feature, it will "look to other search solutions."
The response follows Google's insistence that schools will have to accept its AI services to retain student access to search.
Seeing as how Google search has become complete pants over the past few years, even Microsoft Bing is now a reasonable alternative.
