New York City has enacted a one-year moratorium barring student-facing generative AI tools for public school students from preschool through eighth grade starting the 2026-2027 school year. High schoolers may only use approved AI in supervised pilot programs and must receive AI-literacy lessons twice a year, while companion chatbots are banned at every grade level. The policy also caps daily screen time and restricts teachers from using AI for grading or disciplinary decisions.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani has ordered a one-year moratorium blocking New York City public schools from using AI tools with students from age two through eighth grade. The policy forces schools to disable more than 38 AI features in existing programs, including the Amira reading assistant, and only allows AI use starting in high school through limited 'AI literacy' courses. Exceptions exist for students with learning disabilities or those learning English, and the rules also cap daily screen time for younger grades.
