A new initiative has been introduced to expand restrictions on artificial intelligence use in schools, following a recent ban on AI applications for younger students. The move builds on earlier measures that prohibited AI tools for elementary and middle-schoolers, signaling a broader push to limit technology access in educational settings. Parents, educators, and policymakers are likely weighing the implications of such restrictions on learning and digital literacy. The proposal raises questions about how schools will balance innovation with safeguarding student development.
The proposal comes weeks after the city banned AI for elementary and middle-schoolers.
