New York City’s public schools have taken a decisive step to curb the use of artificial intelligence tools by banning them in classrooms. The policy, announced by the New York City Department of Education, aims to protect students from potential privacy risks and to ensure that learning remains focused on human interaction and critical thinking. While the ban covers a range of AI applications—from chatbots to image generators—educators will still be encouraged to use technology that supports curriculum goals. The move follows growing concerns nationwide about the impact of AI on education, data security, and equity.
