New York City officials are poised to prohibit the use of artificial intelligence tools in K‑12 classrooms through the end of high school, according to sources familiar with the plan. The move, aimed at safeguarding student privacy and ensuring equitable access to technology, would forbid teachers from incorporating AI-powered assistants, chatbots, or content generators into lessons and assessments. City education leaders say the ban will be phased in over the next two years, with a pilot program in select schools to evaluate the impact on learning outcomes. The decision follows growing concerns nationwide about data security, bias, and the potential for AI to widen existing educational disparities.
