A ban on generative artificial intelligence is being implemented for public school students. This restriction applies to students from pre-school programs for 2-year-olds up to eighth grade. The ban will be in effect for a year and will impact nearly 600,000 public school students. As part of the policy, previously authorized programs that do not meet new safety and oversight standards will have their AI components removed or disabled.

The policy was announced by the mayor, and further details are available from the source. The ban is part of a broader initiative to restrict technology use in schools.
