Mamdani Proposes NYC Ban on Generative AI for Students Through Eighth Grade
In an interview, New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani said he would push one of the most comprehensive school AI moratoriums in the US, barring generative AI use for students from kindergarten through eighth grade. He compared the current hype around AI to the 2008 housing bubble and said he does not trust AI industry leaders like Sam Altman to self-regulate.
