New York Teachers' Union Advocates for Reduced Screen Time and AI Use in Younger Grades

The New York State United Teachers union has adopted a resolution proposing restrictions on screen time and student-facing AI in K-8 schools. The union suggests prohibiting one-to-one device use for pre-K through second graders, mandating traditional assessment options, and banning non-educational AI for grades three through eight. This initiative underscores the union's belief that educational technology decisions should be guided by educators and families, not tech companies.
