Hi I just noticed this today that its not blocking the AI Overview for our students its hiding the AI mode but the AI Overview is still being shown. (See the attachement)

Our JSON file already says BlockAIOverview as true

"BlockGoogleSearchAIMode": {

        "Value": true

    },

    "BlockGoogleSearchAIOverview": {

        "Value": true

    },


I would really appreciate any assistance or insights. Thanks in advance!

I was successful in blocking the AI Overview using Google Admin Controls... just ask Gemini... they will walk you through it.
