A new artificial intelligence training center for New York City teachers is raising concerns among some educators about creating a harmful environment that stunts student learning and critical thinking. Meanwhile, the United Federation of Teachers has voted to endorse Zohran Mamdani in the mayoral election.

WNYC’s Joe Hong has been speaking with some of those voters in Bensonhurst and Flushing. He discusses his findings.
