On the 2nd of this month, New York City in the United States issued a major “AI ban” to broadly restrict the city's primary and secondary school and preschool students from being exposed to generative artificial intelligence applications. CNN reported on September 3 that the new “AI ban” issued by New York covers the vast majority of students in the city from preschool education at age 2 to the eighth grade of middle school. It is the most comprehensive restriction policy implemented by the US so far on schools. It is expected that 600,000 students will be directly affected. It is worth noting that although high school students are not within the limits of the “AI ban,” they can only use AI tools with limited functionality, which does not include mainstream interactive artificial intelligence big language models such as ChatGPT and Claude. New York City's new measures have also detonated the Internet. Many netizens believe that the new regulations are suspected of being “one-size-fits-all.” Jean-Claude Brizard, the former head of the Chicago Public School District, said that the university districts of New York and Los Angeles have long been “lighthouses” for educational innovation across the United States, but they have “gone the wrong way” on the AI issue.
