NewzNew York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has announced a comprehensive ban on the use of artificial intelligence for students until they reach high school. Under the new policy, younger students face the most significant restrictions, prohibiting AI use in lower grade levels.
Exceptions to the ban are strictly limited to high school students, who are typically aged 14 and above. These older students will be permitted to engage with artificial intelligence solely through limited pilot programmes designed for specific educational purposes.
In addition to the student restrictions, the policy permits teachers to utilize artificial intelligence tools for lesson planning and training. The measures represent a strict limitation on AI integration within the city's school system.
