Mayor Zohran Mamdani has issued a one‑year ban on the use of artificial‑intelligence tools in New York City public schools for kindergarten through eighth grade. The decision follows growing concerns about data privacy, equity, and the potential for bias in AI‑generated content. Mamdani said the measure will give educators time to develop clear guidelines and training before reintroducing AI in a way that supports student learning. The ban has sparked debate among parents, teachers, and tech advocates about the role of emerging technologies in early education.
