New York City and Los Angeles public schools banned most student use of AI in classrooms for the 2026-2027 school year.
According to a recent Stateline article, the two largest school districts in the country – New York City and Los Angeles – have moved to largely ban AI use by students for the 2026- 2027 school year. The effect of AI on student learning was a major concern behind the decisions. Chicago could follow suit while individual districts in Colorado, Kansas, Minnesota, Texas, and Washington have put other bans in place.
