New York City Public Schools Ban AI Use for Students Through 8th Grade
New York City's public schools will ban the use of student-facing artificial intelligence tools for students through 8th grade during the upcoming school year, implementing a one-year moratorium. High school students will receive AI literacy classes and limited supervised access to AI platforms. The policy aims to balance teaching AI understanding with preventing overreliance or misuse. Screen time limits are also recommended for younger students, while teachers may use AI for planning and operational tasks.
