AI or A1? Education Secretary's Blunder Sparks Debate

U.S.

Secretary of Education Linda McMahon made headlines after repeatedly calling artificial intelligence 'A1'—yes, like the steak sauce—during a

major education tech summit.

Despite correctly saying 'AI' earlier, she kept referring to it as 'A1' while discussing its role in early

The internet had a field day, with critics questioning her qualifications and mocking the mix-up.

McMahon, a former WWE exec, is also tasked with dismantling the Department of Education under Trump’s directive.
