New York and Los Angeles Restrict Student-Facing AI Tools
EDITOR BRIEF
New York City and Los Angeles Unified School District announced moratoriums on student-facing generative AI use for certain school devices and grade levels. The excerpt says the moves reflect wider caution in education, alongside an APA report urging careful review of edtech tools to make sure they truly support learning. Teachers are already using AI regularly in classrooms, according to a cited IBM survey.
