New York City will ban AI use in elementary and middle schools, allowing limited AI only in high schools under specific circumstances, with exceptions for approved instructional programs and accessibility tools.

You face a direct barrier in US K-8 edtech markets as NYC sets a precedent for banning AI tools early on. This reshapes your go-to-market plans and prioritises high school and special education segments first.
