"The robots are here, proclaimed Melania Trump during an AI event at the White House on Thursday. It can be hard to parse the first lady's poker face and expressionless voice, but this certainly wasn't a statement of regret. Rather Trump, reading from a script encased in a very analogue binder, was taking it upon herself to help America's children navigate AI, which she touted as the greatest engine of progress in the history of the United States of America."
"Melania Trump doesn't grace the White House with her presence particularly often. The first lady has made clear that is not beholden to things like duty or tradition like her predecessors. She does what she wants, when she wants. And Thursday's roundtable on AI is the latest indication that she wants to position herself as a leading figure in the future of technology."
Melania Trump held an AI roundtable at the White House, proclaiming "The robots are here" and calling AI the greatest engine of progress in U.S. history. She read from a script in an analogue binder and framed AI as something to be guided like children, advocating empowerment combined with watchful guidance. She is positioning herself as a technology figure while embracing NFTs, cryptocurrency, and an AI voice used to narrate her audiobook. She launched a K-12 AI contest and promoted online safety through support for the Take It Down Act, which passed Congress with bipartisan support.
