"On Tuesday morning, Melania Trump reemerged from wherever she goes when she hides from public view for weeks at a time to unveil a new project she's leading: the Presidential Artificial Intelligence Challenge. "Are you ready for an AI challenge?" the First Lady asked in the brief announcement video. "As someone who created an AI-powered audiobook and championed online safety through the Take It Down Act I've seen firsthand the promise of this powerful technology.""
"That act, which fights deepfakes and "revenge porn," isn't really about the "promise" of AI. And the First Lady using an AI-replicated version of her voice to read her 7-hour memoir was widely viewed as weird and lazy. But sure, Melania has some first hand-experience with the technology. "Now I pass the torch of innovation to you," she continued. "Just as America once led the world into the skies, we are poised to lead again.""
Melania Trump reemerged to unveil the Presidential Artificial Intelligence Challenge, inviting kindergarten through 12th-grade students to develop AI solutions addressing community problems. She cited experience creating an AI-powered audiobook and championing the Take It Down Act, which targets deepfakes and revenge porn. The challenge asks student teams to use tools such as large language models, robotics, computer vision, decision trees, and neural networks to build phone apps or websites. Prizes include Presidential Certificates of Achievement, cloud credits, and a $10,000 check. State champions will be named in March, a national championship will occur in June, and top teams will showcase work in Washington, D.C.
