DuckDuckGo借Google AI政策争议进军校园
在Google面向美国K-12学校的管理政策引发争议后，DuckDuckGo开始推广无需强制启用AI功能的搜索服务。创始人兼CEO Gabriel Weinberg表示，公司愿意协助学校迁移并部署DuckDuckGo，将其设为默认搜索引擎。Google称Gemini、Gemini Notebook及相关功能将默认关闭并可逐项启用，而DuckDuckGo则认为Google能够提供不含AI功能的搜索版本。
围绕校园搜索是否应强制提供AI功能的争议，为DuckDuckGo在教育市场提供了具体的竞争机会。
DuckDuckGo is pitching itself to schools after Google created an opening for the alternative search engine. On Tuesday, Google told schools they could turn off Gemini, but it said shutting off its other AI features would cost schools Google Search, as well.
DuckDuckGo, a company that focuses on user privacy by limiting data collection, clearly sees this as a moment to make inroads in education, where Google has historically dominated. According to figures Google has published in previous years, there are around 50 million Chromebooks in schools, used by students and educators, and its Google Classroom platform serves over 150 million users globally.
On X, DuckDuckGo’s founder and CEO, Gabriel Weinberg, pointed to the company’s online documentation, explaining how schools can switch their default search engine to DuckDuckGo’s service instead, adding, “get in touch for help.”
Meanwhile, DuckDuckGo’s chief public affairs officer, Kamyl Bazbaz, issued a stronger statement, writing, “Forcing AI on school children: how a monopolist behaves when they think people are powerless. Prove Google wrong.”
