IJR News — today's news from every side

NYC Plans AI Ban for K–8 Students — 17hNew York City will ban AI use for students from kindergarten through eighth grade and impose strict screen-time limits, with AI becoming available in ninth grade only for approved educational activities; teachers will still be allowed to use AI for lesson planning, and companion chatbots are barred. The policy, prompted by concerns over mental health and development and following criticism of earlier guidelines, will be refined after stakeholder feedback with a report due to inform the final rules.

Jared Kim Ninth grade cutoff seems arbitrary, but I get the idea of easing them in once they've built real skills first.

Ukraine's students open fifth school year in bunkers and online classes — 1dAcross Ukraine, the return to school amid Russia’s ongoing invasion is characterized by a heavy shift to remote, hybrid, or basement/underground learning as ballistic missiles and drones keep air-raid alerts frequent in cities like Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhzhia. Officials warn of war-inflicted losses—unreachable classrooms, destroyed textbooks, and the looming winter—amid a sprawling, resilient effort to keep education going through shelters, basements, and fortified schools.

Marcus Bell Hard to imagine studying while listening for air raid sirens. Winter is going to make this so much harder for these students.

California passes bill on Jewish ethnicity, awaits Newsom's signature — 1dCalifornia is moving to recognize Jewish identity as an ethnic category in state data, with SB 1387 passing the Legislature and heading to Gov. Newsom for signature to become law, potentially making California the first state to do so. The measure would require agencies to offer a 'Jewish' option on ethnicity or ancestry forms, be voluntary, and include privacy safeguards while aiming to improve policy-relevant data on health, education, and hate crimes, amid broad support from Jewish groups and some opposition concerns.

Elena Vasquez Ethnicity, religion, culture - Jewish identity crosses all of them, so I get why forms have struggled with this for years. Curious how other states will respond.
