Is New York City Leaving Kids Behind on AI?
In this episode of AI Mastermind, Tony DeSimone and ChatGPT discuss New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s one-year moratorium on generative AI use for students from kindergarten through eighth grade. They debate whether the policy protects foundational learning or risks leaving students behind as AI skills become increasingly important in education and the workplace. The conversation also explores teacher training, curriculum changes, equity concerns, and what schools and parents can do to prepare students for an AI-driven future.
