The Los Angeles Unified School District will vastly restrict AI use at all grade levels starting this school year, officials said at a board meeting, as a committee weighs future deployment. It follows New York City's announcement banning most AI through 8th grade.
- Both moves respond to a parent-driven backlash against screens and technology in childhood.
- LAUSD previously barred cellphone use and strictly limited students' daily laptop hours.
- Students can still see AI summaries atop Google searches but cannot use Gemini chatbots on district devices.
- The LA moratorium reportedly goes further than NYC's, with strict limits even for older students.
