Google wants to give teenage students access to its Gemini generative artificial intelligence model to help them in school. Today the company revealed its plans to offer teenagers using the company’s educational accounts to use twins.
in a blog postGoogle has stated that support will be added to more than 100 English countries for students to meet Minimum age requirements for twins. In most of the world, this allows students 13 and older to access twins. However, the minimum age in the European Economic Area, along with Canada, Switzerland and the United Kingdom is 18 years or older.
Teens who use Gemini with their school Google Accounts will also benefit from additional data protection. Google added:
To ensure schools are always in control, Gemini will be off by default for teens until administrators choose to turn it on in the admin console. Once enabled, administrators can install the Gemini web app on Chromebooks so everyone has easy access.
B Another blog post, Google offers more information about Gemini’s upcoming approach to teenage students. Google says it has fine-tuned Gemini with algorithms and safety barriers to prevent content inappropriate for teens from appearing in answers from the AI ​​models, including mentions of “illegal or age-appropriate material.”
If a teenage student asks Gemini a fact-based question, Google says the AI ​​chatbot will automatically use its response feature to double-check to see if there’s “content around the web to base its response on.”
Google also announced some additional educational services and features coming soon. One of them is Google Vids, which will allow teachers to create videos for lessons, syllabus overviews and more for their students.
The student will also be able to use Google Vids for things like video book reports and essays. A version of Google Vids that doesn’t use generative AI will launch for Google Workspace for Education Plus accounts later in 2024. A version that does use artificial intelligence to create videos will also be available through the Gemini plugin for Google Workspace.
