Prohibits the use of most artificial intelligence in classrooms prior to high school except for AI used for diagnostic purposes or explicit instruction interventions for students with disabilities.
In one paragraph
New York's A 9190 would bar the use of artificial intelligence in classrooms in schools prior to ninth grade, except AI used for diagnostic purposes or explicit instruction interventions for students with disabilities. School staff could still use AI for administrative and planning purposes. Same as S 10133. Referred to the Assembly Education Committee November 3, 2025, and again January 7, 2026; it has not passed either house.
Plain-English summary, written with AI assistance. The official text controls.
What it means for business
