New York City has introduced a one-year restriction on artificial intelligence use for most public school students under a policy announced by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
The move is aimed at encouraging students to rely more on teachers, classmates and direct human interaction rather than turning to AI tools for schoolwork.
Officials say the restrictions are intended to protect meaningful learning and ensure students continue developing critical thinking, communication and problem-solving skills through traditional classroom experiences.
The policy is expected to spark further debate over how schools should balance the rapid growth of AI technology with the need to preserve human connection and independent learning.
