New York City Public Schools
The New York City school district recently reversed its ban on allowing students to use ChatGPT. The district previously announced it would be banning ChatGPT use in classrooms in January. New York City Education Department spokesperson Jenna Lyle told Gizmodo that ChatGPT “does not build critical-thinking and problem-solving skills, which are essential for academic and lifelong success.” The school district has now reversed course and David Banks, Chancellor of the New York City Department of Education, said the decision to ban was motivated by “knee-jerk fear and risk.”
