The US Secretary of Education referred to AI as ‘A1,’ like the steak sauce


During a panel at a summit, Linda McMahon, the U.S. secretary of education, referred to AI as 'A1,' like the steak sauce.

“You know, AI development — I mean, how can we educate at the speed of light if we don’t have the best technology around to do that?” she said. In McMahon’s defense, it doesn’t seem like she actually thinks that artificial intelligence is abbreviated “A1.” During the panel, she said “AI” at first, but became increasingly less consistent. AI is such a ubiquitous term that it seems hard to imagine how one could forget the correct acronym — it’s like if a professional athlete referred to Major League Baseball as the “NFL.”
