Melania Trump is carving out a new role in the Trump administration as the first lady of Technology. She will focus on advancing AI technology, first by leading the Presidential AI Challenge. The competition invites school-aged children to submit projects related to "the study, development, or use of an AI method or tool to address community challenges." "Just as America once led the world into the skies [through airplane flight], we are poised to lead again, this time in the age of AI," Melania says. In a video, the first lady says she became interested in AI after creating a deepfake of herself to narrate her audiobook, skipping hours of time in the studio reading it herself. "I've seen firsthand the promise of this powerful technology," she says. "Now, I pass the torch of innovation to you." #ai #technews #melaniatrump #flotus #trump 📸: Win McNamee/Getty Images Like what you're reading? Don't miss out on our latest stories.
