In reply to BoyceD'Amore. That sounds nice in theory, but schools are already a mess with kids cheating, zoning out, and barely reading. Handing them AI like it’s just another calculator is how you end up with a generation that can prompt but can’t think.

In reply to Becky_Lowe. I get the concern, but I think the moratorium crowd is ignoring reality. If the tools are already everywhere, schools should teach responsible use, not pretend the genie goes back in the bottle.

I’m with the parents on this one. Schools always rush into shiny new tech like it’s magic, then act surprised when it hurts attention spans and learning. We need child first, not vendor first.

In reply to Cole Kutz. I get the concern, but a total ban feels like panic theater. Kids are already going to use AI at home whether schools like it or not, so I’d rather they learn with boundaries than in a free-for-all. The problem is weak oversight, not the mere existence of the tools.

The traffic light system is a joke. Red, yellow, whatever — once these companies get a foot in the door, they always creep into everything. NYC should be much tougher.

In reply to independent_voter. Yeah, exactly. They always roll out these “frameworks” like it’s some brave new policy, but it sounds more like a PR shield for the tech vendors. If they can’t even explain the actual limits, how are parents supposed to trust it?

A two-year moratorium sounds extreme to me. Kids are already using AI at home anyway, so banning it in school just means they’ll be less prepared than everyone else.

Honestly, the city is doing the usual half-step nonsense. If AI is really this important, then either set real guardrails or keep it out of classrooms until we know what it’s doing to kids.
