New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced a one-year moratorium on AI use in public school classrooms, set to take effect during the 2026-2027 school year. The policy will affect approximately 600,000 students enrolled in kindergarten through eighth grade across the city's public schools. Under the new rules from the NYC Department of Education, teachers will also be prohibited from using AI tools to grade student assignments. The restrictions are being introduced alongside broader limits on digital devices in schools and a small pilot program focused on AI education tools. Students will only be permitted to use AI once they reach high school.
German smart home company Tado has unveiled its Smart Thermostat X (2nd generation), a Matter-over-Thread device targeting European smart thermostat users. The launch follows Google's exit from the European thermostat market last year, during which Google itself directed its customers to Tado. Tado cofounder Christian Deilmann told The Verge that Google's server shutdowns for its older Nest models had already driven significant sales to the company. While Google's third-generation Nest still holds strong European penetration, Deilmann believes its long-term support is uncertain. Tado is positioning the new thermostat to capture users who may eventually lose support for their current Nest devices.
