New York City has imposed a one-year limit on generative AI in public schools: roughly 600,000 students from 2-K through 8th grade lose access to student-facing AI tools, and teachers are restricted from using AI for grading and most classroom-facing tasks. The one-year timeframe is notably specific and shorter than the two- to five-year periods some had pushed for.
