US Education Secretary Linda McMahon Advocates for AI as a Tool, Not a Replacement for Teachers

Washington. US Education Secretary Linda McMahon has said that while the use of AI in schools needs to be increased, it cannot replace teachers. She emphasized that AI should be used as a supportive technology to make student learning more effective, rather than a substitute for teachers.

Speaking to reporters at the White House, McMahon said that AI has become an integral part of the education system and schools should learn to use it safely and responsibly rather than ignore it. However, she stated that no machine can replace the direct human interaction between teachers and students in the classroom.
