As parents consider kids' AI use, NYC schools' new policy could be a 'home run,' psychologist says
New York City schools have adopted a new policy on student AI use that some child psychologists are describing positively. The policy comes as parents and educators weigh how children should interact with AI tools.
Why this matters: Schools are one of the first places where kids get real, structured exposure to AI. What rules they set now will shape habits kids carry for years. NYC is a big district, so its approach tends to get copied. Parents who want a say in how their children use these tools should pay attention to whether this policy actually gives families clear information, or just gives administrators cover.
