McMahon says AI can be a ‘great tool’ for students

Education Secretary Linda McMahon stated on Sunday that artificial intelligence can serve as a beneficial resource for K-12 students, provided it is implemented correctly by schools and educators. Speaking during an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union,” McMahon emphasized the potential for the technology to aid the learning process.

McMahon’s comments followed a recent visit to the Alpha School in Austin, Texas, where she observed students interacting with AI-driven chat technology. Her remarks reflect an ongoing discussion regarding the integration of emerging technologies within the American educational system.
