New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has announced a one-year moratorium on student-facing generative AI in NYC public schools, affecting nearly 600,000 students from 2-K through eighth grade. The policy targets AI tools used directly by younger students, including generative AI and AI-powered educational platforms. Around 40 AI-based tools currently used in NYC schools are expected to be suspended under the new policy.

Tyler Robinson has pleaded not guilty in the Charlie Kirk murder case, setting the stage for a high-profile trial in Utah. Following the courtroom development, conservative commentator Candace Owens issued an explosive warning, claiming that “every one of their lies will be exposed.” Owens has repeatedly questioned aspects of the investigation, while prosecutors say they have presented substantial evidence against Robinson. The case will now move toward trial, where Robinson could face the death penalty if convicted.
