New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and city officials announced a one-year ban on generative AI use in public schools from 2-K through 8th grade, along with screen-time limits for younger students and new AI literacy lessons for high schoolers. Commenters argue the ban will widen the skill gap between average students and those whose parents actively teach with AI at home.
