Disabling Google AI Search

Note

This feature requires a minimum extension version of 4.5.1.

You can disable Google AI Search in your class policies. When this setting is turned on, students no longer see Google's AI-generated answers at the top of search results, and AI search mode is turned off on their devices - any attempt to use it sends them to regular Google search instead.

Important

This setting works only in Google Chrome. Students using a different browser can still access Google AI Search. To block it completely, all browsers other than Google Chrome must be blocked by the administrator.

To disable Google AI Search:

  1. Click Policies from the Main Menu. The Policies screen appears.

  2. From the Policy Table, click an existing policy, or create a new one by entering a name and clicking Create Policy. The policy configuration window appears.
