Recently, Google invested a whopping $1 billion in AI education, job training, and research programs worldwide. As part of this initiative, students get a free one-year subscription to its Google AI Pro plan. After the free plan, it reverts to its original cost of ₹1950 ($20) per month.
“Google is pitching this as a way to help students ‘study smarter, not harder’ and become ‘AI fluent.’ More realistically, Google is essentially advertising a way for students to outsource their thinking while avoiding reading and writing.”
Google says students over 18 years of age can use Gemini for understanding complex topics, preparing for job interviews, and developing creative ideas. As part of the Gemini AI Pro plan, students will get the following benefits:
