Two US senators write letter to Google CEO Sundar Pichai asking 9 questions as company pushes for AI in classrooms

Google wants AI in schools, but two US senators want answers from CEO Sundar Pichai first. Senators Richard Blumenthal and Josh Hawley have written a letter seeking answers from the tech giant, following an investigation into how the company’s AI tools affect schoolchildren. In a letter sent to Pichai, the senators asked what the company knows about the impact of its AI products on children’s mental health and educational development. The senators asked 9 questions from Pichai, while highlighting that “Google is forcing their AI products into classrooms across America, and children are paying the price.” Senators have given November 2 as the deadline for the Search giant to respond.
