New York City Public Schools announces a ban on student-facing artificial intelligence tools, including chatbots, from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. The policy will apply to how students use AI in school settings, with eighth-grade specifically highlighted in reporting.
The outlets describe the same core measure: limiting or prohibiting student use of AI tools across early grades and continuing through middle school. One report frames the restriction as starting from pre-K and continuing through eighth grade, while another specifies eighth grade as a key affected level. Both accounts tie the change to an upcoming rollout in the education system, rather than an immediate nationwide action beyond the city.
