Mamdani, the mayor of New York City, is poised to unveil a sweeping ban on artificial‑intelligence tools in schools for children under 18. The move follows growing concerns about data privacy, algorithmic bias, and the impact of AI on young learners’ development. The proposed restrictions would prohibit the use of AI‑driven platforms for homework, grading, and classroom instruction, while still allowing teachers to use the technology for professional development. City officials argue the ban protects students from potential exploitation and ensures a more equitable learning environment, but critics warn it could stifle innovation and leave schools behind in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
