NYC bans AI in K-8 public schools, sparking parental debate on home AI policies

New York City's ban on AI in K-8 public schools has triggered debate among parents. Linus Ekenstam argues it's a "skill issue": governments step back because parents lack the skills to use these tools, but that widens societal divides. He shares his own approach — strict screen-time rules at home, yet his daughters learned to read and write in three languages before age 4 partly thanks to an iPad, and he now uses AI with them weekly, 80%+ for educational purposes. Dan Jeffries reposted in agreement.
