The city of New York will prohibit the use of artificial intelligence by students in public schools until high school.

The city of New York will ban the use of artificial intelligence for students in public schools up to high school, according to a source close to the situation. This decision was confirmed after the mayor's office and the Department of Education did not immediately respond to requests for comments.

The use of AI will only be allowed in high school, but limited to specific educational applications. AI chatbots that provide psychological support will be banned.

The rules stipulate that teachers can use AI to prepare lessons, but students will have restrictions on the time spent in front of screens. These regulations come in response to protests from parents and teachers against a previous framework considered too lenient. The Department of Education will create a working group to develop a report on the use of AI in schools, which will be completed by April 2027.
