New York decided to suspend the use of artificial intelligence in public schools up to the 9th grade. The measure represents a significant change in the city's educational policy, which had been exploring artificial intelligence technologies in the school environment.
The suspension affects approximately 600,000 students in New York public schools. With this decision, students up to the ninth grade will not have access to artificial intelligence tools during the school year.
The measure will be in effect during the 2026-2027 school year. The educational authorities justify the pause as a way to evaluate the impacts and safety of using these technologies before implementing them on a large scale.
