Briefly

NYC's Education Dept. is releasing a long-awaited AI policy. Some schools already have their own.
"The need was reaching a fever pitch. As a community dedicated to deep learning, we prohibit the unsupervised use of generative AI for all schoolwork and assessments."
"Schools across the five boroughs have come up with a wide variety of approaches on their own, offering a preview of the complex task facing the Education Department."
"Some, like East Side Community, have crafted comprehensive policies detailing acceptable and unacceptable uses of the technology, along with how the school should respond."
Manhattan Assistant Principal Joe Vincente recognized an AI issue at East Side Community School, prompting multiple meetings about inappropriate AI use. With no formal guidance from the city Education Department, Vincente formed a committee to draft a 12-page AI policy prohibiting unsupervised generative AI use for schoolwork. The city's Education Department plans to release a citywide AI policy, reflecting diverse school-level approaches to managing AI's role in education amid ongoing debates about its value.
