New York is banning student use of artificial intelligence until high school, the city's mayor announced Wednesday, in a move designed to protect children's education and mental health.
The one-year restriction, which impacts nearly 600,000 public school pupils through eighth grade, will be closely watched across the United States as the city's school board is by far the largest in the country.
Only high school students, typically aged 14 and above, will be permitted to use artificial intelligence in limited pilot programmes, and they will be offered biannual AI literacy classes.
Companion chatbots, designed specifically for emotional support, will be banned across all grades.
