Google Pushed AI into Schools — and Even Students Say It's Gone Too Far
A Wall Street Journal investigation, based on 60+ interviews and a review of Google's own research papers, finds Google's aggressive push of AI into classrooms through Chromebooks has left many students academically and emotionally dependent on AI. The OECD's 2025 PISA survey found US reading scores at a 25-year low, with daily AI users scoring 20 points lower in science. It matters because it is the most detailed evidence yet that unguarded AI in education may be harming learning — New York and Los Angeles have already restricted student AI use.
