First Lady Melania Trump has launched the Presidential Artificial Intelligence (AI) Challenge, an initiative that encourages K-12 students and educators across the United States to engage with artificial intelligence technology.
“The Presidential AI Challenge will be the first step in preparing our next generation with a base understanding of this important new technology,” said First Lady Melania Trump.
In a video released on AI.gov, Mrs. Trump discussed her experience using AI while creating her audiobook. She highlighted both the potential benefits and risks associated with artificial intelligence. Mrs. Trump stated, “In just a few short years, artificial intelligence will be the engine driving every business sector across our economy. It is important America leads the rest of the world.”
The challenge is part of broader efforts to equip young people with skills relevant to emerging technologies. More information about participating in the Presidential AI Challenge can be found at AI.gov/initiatives/presidential-challenge.
