New York City schools will ban the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools for students from pre-kindergarten to eighth grade starting in the 2026-2027 school year. This decision affects over half a million students in the city’s public school system. The mayor, Zohran Mamdani, announced that the city will take a year to study how AI impacts education before allowing it in classrooms. This ban comes as there is a lot of discussion among teachers, parents, and policymakers about the role of AI in schools. New guidelines about this ban will be shared as the new school year begins.
