New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has proposed a one-year moratorium on the use of generative AI in schools for students from pre-K to eighth grade, potentially affecting 600,000 public school students. The proposal also includes screen time restrictions and twice-yearly AI critical thinking modules for high school students. The same day, the Los Angeles Unified School District announced a similar AI ban for the remainder of the school year. The moves have sparked debate among tech leaders, with some calling the bans regressive and others seeing merit in the proposals.
