Should schools ban AI or teach students how to use it well? Within days of each other, the nation’s two largest school districts restricted student-facing generative AI. New York City announced a one-year moratorium for grades 2K through 8, while Los Angeles restricted access across all K–12 grades as a committee considers what comes next.
This episode, three education thought leaders examine what these policies may solve, what they leave unanswered, and whether banning AI is the right instinct. The conversation also explores the role AI literacy should play no matter where a district lands and how schools can balance safety, learning, and responsible use.
