“ Principals can’t plan how things are going to go in September if they don’t know: are the AI products that are part of the mandated curriculum going to be suddenly switched off?” said Craig Garrett, a Brooklyn dad on the steering committee of the AIM Coalition, a group of 15 organizations calling for a two-year moratorium on AI in public schools.
