The U.S. Secretary of Education's mistake of referring to "AI" as "A1" has sparked controversy.

The US Secretary of Education's Mistaken Reference to "AI" as "A1" Sparks Controversy

Linda McMahon, the US Secretary of Education, attended the ASU+GSV Summit on Tuesday local time. Experts from the education and technology fields gathered there to discuss how artificial intelligence will impact learning. When speaking at a panel discussion on the application of artificial intelligence in the workplace, McMahon repeatedly referred to AI as "A1". A1 is a well-known American steak sauce brand. McMahon said, "I heard that a school system is going to start ensuring that children in first grade or even preschool receive A1 teaching every year, starting from such a young grade. That's really amazing! Not long ago, people were saying, 'Wow, our school is getting connected to the internet.' Now let's take a look at A1 and see what it can do." As a common term, it's hard to imagine someone forgetting the correct abbreviation, especially coming from the Secretary of Education.
