First lady Melania Trump on Tuesday announced an artificial intelligence contest for K-12 students nationwide.
“Are you ready for an AI challenge? Take part in this nationwide initiative to discover, develop and expand AI’s potential,” she said in the video announcement.
For the challenge, student participants must complete a project that involves the study, development or use of an AI method or tool to address a community challenge. The contest also invites educators to come up with new and creative approaches to teaching with AI.
“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,” she said, referencing the audio book version of her 2024 memoir, “Melania,” which was narrated by an AI-generated version of her voice.
The first lady encouraged those eligible to apply online to compete in the challenge online. (An educator or supervising adult must complete and submit a form for each team to participate.)
