New York City has imposed a one-year moratorium on student-facing artificial intelligence tools in public schools from preschool through eighth grade affecting nearly 600,000 students in the nation’s largest public school system.
The policy is designed to give education officials time to study the impact of artificial intelligence on children and determine how the technology should be integrated into classrooms in the future.
The moratorium will not completely remove AI from schools, as teachers will still be allowed to use AI for certain behind-the-scenes activities, including lesson planning, while exceptions will be made for some assistive technologies and specialized programs.

The policy does not completely remove AI from schools. Teachers will still be allowed to use AI for certain behind-the-scenes activities, including lesson planning, while exceptions will be made for some assistive technologies and specialized programs.
For older students, the city plans to focus instead on AI literacy, teaching high school students how the technology works, as well as its risks, limitations, and ethical implications.
The decision has reignited a wider debate over the role of AI in education. Supporters of greater restrictions argue that young children need to develop independent thinking, problem-solving, and human interaction before becoming heavily dependent on technology.
Critics, however, warn that shielding students from AI could leave them unprepared for a workforce increasingly shaped by the technology.
