Chicago Public Schools Blocks Student Access to Generative AI Tools

Chicago Public Schools (CPS) has prohibited student access to generative AI platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, and Google Gemini, sparking protests in Chicago and Cambridge, Massachusetts. The district also reversed its plan to integrate Google Gemini into high schools for the 2026-2027 academic year due to community opposition. Advocacy groups are now advocating for a three-year moratorium on AI use in classrooms.
