New York City public schools will implement a one-year ban on the use of generative AI for students in grades 2-K through 8th grade.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has unveiled a one-year ban on the use of student-facing generative AI across the city’s public schools through eighth grade, and restrictions on the use of the technology in high schools. “The tech industry wants us to believe that A.I.-powered early education is not only inevitable, but necessary. We do not see it that way,” said Mamdani in a statement. https://truthout.org/articles/mamdani-unveils-ai-moratorium-for-schools-through-8th-grade-screen-time-limits/
