Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) adopts a moratorium restricting students’ access to generative AI tools on district devices. The policy allows teachers to use such tools while students are barred, according to reports.

The move is presented as part of a wider effort to limit classroom computer and screen time. Bloomberg frames the change as part of a broader push to reduce screen use in school, while the Los Angeles Times focuses on the district’s decision to restrict generative AI access for all students on devices it controls.

Outlets describe the same core elements: student access to AI tools on district devices is paused or limited, teachers retain permitted access, and the action fits into LAUSD’s classroom technology restrictions. The reports also indicate the district is using device-level controls to implement the moratorium.
