The city’s embrace of artificial intelligence in public schools could irreparably harm students, dumbing them down and leaving them dependent on the tech, critics warned. Parents and educators generated a blizzard of more than 6,000 comments during a 45-day feedback period that ended Friday on the Department of Education’s AI plan — with many terrified the system is nowhere near ready for AI in the classrooms. “We reject the DOE’s sham 45 day process and inadequate, cramped survey for what is clearly a foregone conclusion to embrace big tech at the expense of our students,” said advocacy group Parent Coalition for Student Privacy.
