Trump Education Secretary Whiffs on Artificial Intelligence, Calls it A1, Like the Steak Sauce

Trump’s Secretary of Education Linda McMahon attended the ASU+GSV Summit in San Diego on Tuesday, and spoke before experts in education and technology to discuss how AI (artificial intelligence) will impact learning.

While speaking on AI in the workforce, McMahon repeatedly referred to AI as “A1,” like the steak sauce.

McMahon stressed the potential positive impact A1 steak sauce could have on educating the nation’s youth.

“It wasn’t all that long ago that it was, ‘We’re going to have internet in our schools!’” she said. “Now let’s see A1, and how can that be helpful.”

MAGA Education Secretary Linda McMahon has been seen and heard referring to AI as “A1” steak sauce whilst she’s working to dismantle public education.We are living in the dumbest of times and the stupidity is endless.

I saw the Linda McMahon A1 speech. Why are we using A1 to teach kindergarteners? It boasts 33 flavors and spices. If there ever were a DEI of spices, A1 would be it.
