In a recent blog post, Google shared an array of education customer stories, showcasing ways institutions are using AI tools like Gemini and NotebookLM to transform both learning and administrative tasks.
At the University of California, Riverside, for example, students are using NotebookLM as a thought and debate partner. They upload their own interpretations of course readings and materials along with a short position paper, and then utilize the AI to find weaknesses in their arguments or test their understanding of the material, Google shared.
“We need to prepare [students] for a future where they’ll need to know how to leverage AI tools effectively in their work environments,” commented CIO Matthew Gunkel. “With the Gemini app, we’ve empowered the entire institution with private and secure generative AI at scale and, importantly, with appropriate safety protections.”
