    As Trump cabinet member activities go, sporadically mispronouncing some acronym is very low on my list of concerns.

      For info, AI is an initialism, not an acronym. Acronyms are pronounced like words (NASA, NATO), whereas initialisms are just the letters (AI, FBI).

    Yeah, mispronouncing AI is strange, but what about her wanting to use AI to educate first graders, even preschool kids?

    I just… I don’t know what good can come of that.
