Mayor Eric Adams and Chancellor David C. Samuels have jointly announced the most expansive generative‑AI moratorium in U.S. public schools, banning the use of AI‑driven tools such as ChatGPT in classrooms, homework, and grading for the 2024‑25 school year. The policy, aimed at protecting student privacy and academic integrity, requires all district staff to cease using AI software and mandates new guidelines for technology procurement. The move follows growing concerns over data security, bias, and the potential for cheating, and signals a broader push to ensure that AI tools are introduced responsibly and with clear oversight.
