  "account": "On September 2, 2026, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Schools Chancellor Kamar H. Samuels introduced stringent restrictions on artificial intelligence (AI) use and screen time within the city's public schools. Under the new policy, student-facing AI tools will be prohibited for a year for students from kindergarten through eighth grade. The policy affects over 600,000 students in the largest public school system in the U.S.\n\nInstead of embracing AI-assisted learning, the city is focusing on educating children about how AI systems operate, alongside establishing appropriate screen time limits based on age groups. All comments on this policy must be in English, written as complete sentences, and cannot be abusive or personal. The city has transitioned to a new commenting platform; existing users who are registered on The Hindu can continue engaging with the articles by logging in. If one does not have an account, they can register and post comments through the new platform.",
