New York City officials plan to impose a one-year pause on the use of artificial intelligence in public schools for students below high school, affecting nearly 600,000 younger learners, according to a report. The policy, expected to be announced by Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Schools Chancellor Kamar Samuels, would also curb device use, barring laptops and tablets in preschool through second grade and limiting screen time for grades three through eight. Teachers could employ AI for lesson planning but would be prohibited from using it for grading or crisis management. The Education Department has drafted guidance with input from lawmakers, technology firms and parents, positioning the rules among the nation’s most restrictive classroom technology policies.
