NYC Proposes Ban on Student AI Tools Through 8th Grade and Tightens Screen Time
TL;DR Summary
New York City will ban student-facing AI tools for 2-K through 8th grade, bar personal devices for pre-K through 2nd grade (classrooms may still use smart boards), and impose screen-time caps—30 minutes for grades 3–5 and 45 minutes for middle school—with high schools limited to AI use in pilots. Teachers can use approved AI for planning and translation, but not for grading or counseling; exceptions exist for assessments and certain student groups as the city finalizes enforcement and rollout amid ongoing debate.
