A sweeping policy change will restrict artificial intelligence use for younger students, imposing a full one-year ban on AI tools for all students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. Meanwhile, high school students will see limited access to AI applications, though specific guidelines on what constitutes "limited use" remain unclear. The decision follows growing concerns over the ethical implications and developmental impact of AI on younger learners. Educators and parents are divided on whether such restrictions will hinder or help student learning in the long term.
Students pre-K through 8th grade will face a one-year blanket ban while high school students will have limited AI use available.
