Google doesnt use biometric data (voice) to differentiate different people and goes by who attends the meeting. Lots of the others use biometric data processing (where?), which one can opt out of being processed. Although you can record, you have no right to process someones voice.

Someone has contacted them and they do still sell it, but they dont seem to advertise it.

Thanks, I couldnt see anywhere that it can be purchased now. It looks linked the the curric managment suite and that also requires a SIMS contract?

Our timetablers seem incapable of using any other product other than Nova. Can this still be purchased as a standalone, does anyone have any upto date pricing?

What amazes me about AI systems, including the OpenAI reskins with quick prompts "for teachers", is that they start costing more than the entire MIS or the entire IT budget. Where are they suddenly finding this money? What benefits are they bringing for the outlay?

There is a setting in the Google Admin console: "Generative AI/Gemini app" Allow all users to access the Gemini app, regardless of licence. Users with the appropriate licence can access the Gemini app under the Google Workspace or Workspace for Education terms. Other users can have access under the Google Terms of Service and the Gemini Apps Privacy Notice. Regardless of licence, for Google Workspace for Education users, their chats and uploaded files won't be reviewed by human reviewers or otherwise used to improve generative AI models. If this option is not selected, users can only access the Gemini app with a licence that provides access under the Google Workspace or Workspace for Education terms.

Too many.

I think its time for us to find a new website provider, I'm not willing to support these underhanded practices by Juniper.

Split the UK up so tat least it is isloated, other areas have rather a greater uptime or no one is noticing so bromcom dont update their gaslighting chart.

Again.

Humans seem to substantially under value the intellgence of non-primates and significantly over value the suposed neuron equivelence in a processor.

If you are a MAT admin you can email the support portal and tell them to downgrade all your schools without having to login to each one.

Education standard is essential for secondary school age pupils, only for the security tools if google is your domain email. Education Plus, lots of nice to have. AI add-on, no.

and in the browser, so single thread client side

This is a really important point. I keep reading how it is responsble for us to teach people how to use AI well and ethically (the policy usually knocked up by AI) but the AI itself is bias, terrible at counting and uses false information. We need to differentiate between a) chatbot trained on garbage b) neural networks designed for high level problem solving. I feel a gets the credit for b because both are "ai"
