First Lady Melania Trump has launched a nationwide artificial intelligence challenge for K-12 students. The initiative encourages young participants to create projects using AI to address community challenges. In her video announcement, Trump emphasized the importance of early exposure to AI, inviting educators to design creative teaching approaches involving the technology. Trump referenced her own experience with AI, including an AI-narrated version of her memoir “Melania,” as an example of the potential of the technology. President Donald Trump backed the initiative during a Cabinet meeting, directing attention to the AI.gov website. The site stresses the importance of responsible AI training for students to foster innovation and economic growth. The challenge highlights growing efforts to prepare the next generation for an AI-driven future.
