Millions of college students around the world are getting ready to start classes. To help make the school year even better, we’re making our most advanced AI tools available to them for free, including our new Guided Learning mode. We\u2019re also providing $1 billion to support AI education and job training programs and research in the U.S. This includes making our AI and career training free for every college student in America through our AI for Education Accelerator \u2014 over 100 colleges and universities have already signed up.<\/p>\n
Bringing the best technologies to every student has always been core to Google’s mission. It’s why we built Chromebooks for every classroom, and why we\u2019ve been working on LearnLM, which has helped make Gemini the world\u2019s leading model for learning.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also deeply important to me. Having regular access to computers in grad school changed my life, and led me on the path to Google. It\u2019s my hope that bringing the best AI tools to college students will open up new worlds for them, too.<\/p>\n
Knowing how to use this technology will also serve these students well as they transition to the world of work. That\u2019s why we are building on our years of experience with the Google Career Certificates to offer AI training free for all college students.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s more detail on what we\u2019re announcing:<\/p>\n
Starting today, students (ages 18+) in the U.S. as well as in Japan, Indonesia, Korea and Brazil can sign-up for a 12 month Google AI Pro plan for free. Here\u2019s what they\u2019ll get:<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll be expanding this offer to more countries in the coming weeks. Learn more about our tools or sign up for the free 12-month Google AI Pro plan by October 6.<\/p>\n
AI can broaden knowledge and expand access to it in powerful ways, helping anyone, anywhere learn anything in the way that works best for them. It\u2019s not about just getting an answer, but deepening understanding and building critical thinking skills along the way. That opportunity is why we built Guided Learning, a new mode in Gemini that acts as a learning companion guiding you with questions and step-by-step support instead of just giving you the answer. We worked closely with students, educators, researchers and learning experts to make sure it\u2019s helpful for understanding new concepts and is backed by learning science.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
