Policy summary

New York State has an introduced proposal, Senate Bill S10133, that would prohibit most artificial intelligence in classrooms before ninth grade, with exceptions for diagnostic purposes, disability-related instructional interventions, and staff administrative or planning work. It remains in committee and is not law. New York City has separately adopted a one-year NYCPS moratorium on student-facing generative AI in grades 2-K through 8 for 2026–27, alongside limited high-school pilots and required AI-literacy modules.

Policy themes: #usage-guardrails | #student-privacy
