Google is about toSchoolsupply Gemini AI, and specifically for educators and students over the age of 18, promises to use their data for AI model training or share it with others.
Google will offer additional Gemini privacy protections on Workspace for Education accounts at no extra charge. This means schools will have additional data privacy protections on the Gemini 1.0 Pro model, rather than the newer Gemini 1.5 Pro or Flash models, which are designed to provide more definitive answers.
Gemini for Google Workspace will be available on May 23, with two different packages for schools.FirstThe first is the Gemini Education plan, which costs $10 and has monthly usage limits; the second is Education Premium, which provides full access to Workspace's AI tools and offers additional features such as AI notes/summaries for Google Meet and data loss prevention.
Additionally, the popular education device Chrome will also get new accessibility features to help people with impaired or low vision. In the coming months, the screen magnifier for Chromebooks will have the ability to follow the text as it reads, when used with the Select to Read feature. Users will also be able to increase the size of the cursor and turn off the flashing text indicator.
This initiative will provide educators and students with a safer and more private learning environment, while the accessibility features of Chromebooks will also provide a better user experience for people with visual impairments or low vision.
