""As someone who created an AI-powered audio book and championed online safety through the Take It Down Act, I've seen firsthand the promise of this powerful technology," the first lady says in a short video announcing the Presidential AI Challenge. "Now, I pass the torch of innovation to you." "Just as America once led the world into the skies, we are poised to lead again," she continued. "This time, in the age of AI.""
"Students who sign up will complete a project using an artificial intelligence method or tool to address a community challenge. Michael Kratsios, director of the White House science and technology office, said the possibilities for the projects are "endless" but the aim of the challenge is to get students to work together since they will use artificial intelligence in adulthood."
Melania Trump invited students in grades K-12 to join a government-sponsored nationwide contest that encourages collaborative use of artificial intelligence tools to solve community problems. Students will register with an adult mentor or teacher, complete projects using AI methods or tools, and submit entries by the end of December. Regional competitions occur in spring and national winners will be hosted at a White House event. Michael Kratsios emphasized teamwork and early engagement with AI. The contest follows a presidential executive order advancing AI education for youth and builds on Melania Trump's use of AI in an audiobook project.
