Politicians on the left and right are watching how the New York mayor’s tactics play out in world’s center of capitalism.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is pumping the brakes on artificial intelligence for elementary and middle school students in the Big Apple — and limiting the tools that high school students have access to in classrooms. And none of the leading AI models are included on the list of approved options.

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani said the city welcomed all members of the media during his joint press conference with President Trump, who defended his decision to bar certain outlets.

President Donald Trump and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani met Monday afternoon at Gracie Mansion in Manhattan where they discussed affordability, housing and how to keep "immigrant New Yorkers" safe, the mayor told reporters at a news conference afterward.

The pair stopped into the New York Irish Center this afternoon before taking a trip on the subway together.
