New York City Schools' AI Ban

New Facts: NYC Bans AI for Elementary, Middle School Students

New York City imposed a one-year moratorium on generative AI for elementary and middle school students. The ban covers all grades through eighth and takes effect as students return next week.

AI will be permitted in high school only in limited classroom settings, and students there will take a required AI literacy course. Teachers are barred from using AI to grade assignments.

The broader policy also blocks individual screens before third grade. It confines classroom AI to grades nine and above and removes it from use for roughly 600,000 younger students.
