纽约公立学校暂停K-8年级生成式AI使用，高中试点监管模式

Will it even work. 🤔

WSJ: New York City is pausing student-facing generative AI through eighth grade.

The moratorium affects nearly 600,000 students, removing student-facing generative AI from those grades, and prohibits companion chatbots across all grades.

High schools take a controlled route: up to 50,000 students can join 5 teacher-supervised AI pilots, while all high schoolers receive twice-yearly AI literacy instruction.

to note, New York City public schools previously imposed a temporary ban on ChatGPT soon after its rollout in 2022. The restriction was later lifted and replaced by a custom AI-powered teaching assistant,

And actually, there is also strong evidence on the other side. In a 2025 randomized Harvard physics study, 194 college students using a carefully designed AI tutor had more than twice the median learning gain of students receiving an active-learning classroom lesson, while typically spending less time.
