""AI is here, and our responsibility is to put strong systemwide safeguards in place," schools Chancellor Kamar Samuels wrote in an email to parents."
"The early framework is structured in a 'traffic light' approach: green light for approved uses, red light for prohibited cases, and yellow light cases for gray areas, which require significant oversight."
"In 'yellow light' cases, schools can use AI to find trends in student data, to generate translations for bilingual learners, or adapt materials for students with disabilities - but a trained professional must first review the outputs before it is used with students."
New York City's Education Department has introduced preliminary guidelines for the use of artificial intelligence in schools, following a previous ban on ChatGPT. The guidelines address concerns about student privacy and the impact of AI on learning. A 'traffic light' system categorizes AI use into approved, prohibited, and oversight-required cases. Feedback from families and educators will shape future versions of the guidelines, with a survey and events planned for community input until May 8.
