Under no circumstances should you let AI do your schoolwork for you, but Google is offering a free year of its Google One AI Premium plan to college students. This plan includes Gemini Advanced, access to the AI assistant in the Google Workspace, and features like Gemini Live.
The Google One AI Premium plan typically costs $20 per month and focuses on utilizing Gemini for various tasks. Gemini offers experimental products such as NotebookLM for document analysis and Whisk for image and video remixing. Additionally, users will receive 2TB of Google Drive storage for storing college-related documents.
To take advantage of this offer, interested individuals can sign up on Google’s website. To be eligible, you must be 18 years or older, have a «.edu» email address, and register before June 30, 2025. Once enrolled, you will have access to the Google One AI Premium plan until July 2026. Google may require verification of your student status in 2026, but overall, signing up is a simple process and provides valuable extra storage.
While the offer of free storage is appealing, Google’s intentions may not be entirely altruistic. By encouraging the use of AI among students, the company aims to make AI an essential tool rather than just a novelty. This shift could have implications for critical thinking skills and academic performance, despite the advancements in AI research and development that it may support.
