McMahon repeatedly referred to AI by the name A1.
Yes, just like the steak sauce.

The video of the conference was livestreamed onYouTube,where you’re able to hear it for yourself.

They just absorb everything, McMahon continued.
So it wasnt all that long ago that were going to have internet in our schools.
Now, okay, lets see A1 and how can that be helpful?
How can it be helpful in one-on-one instruction?
How can it be helpful in absorbing more information for those fast learners?
It can be more one-on-one directed.
And those are the kinds of things and innovations that I want to see continue to develop.
Does Secretary McMahon know about some kind of special AI technology that goes by the name A1?
Its entirely possible, but Gizmodo was unable to get an answer from the Department of Education via email.
