Guidance on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Screen Time
A Note from Chancellor Samuels
As the largest school system in the nation, NYCPS is committed to leading the charge on key education issues, and that includes the use of technology in our classrooms. After deep analysis and engagement, we are enacting an artificial intelligence (AI) and screen time policy for the 2026–27 school year focused on protecting our youngest learners while also preparing our older students for a world shaped by AI.
