In an effort to boost American ingenuity and put the United States back at the forefront of technology, First Lady Melania Trump has unveiled the nationwide Presidential AI Challenge, inviting students from kindergarten through 12th grade to harness artificial intelligence to solve real-world problems.
The first-of-its-kind competition brings together students, educators, and supervisors in teams to create AI-powered solutions for issues in their schools or communities.
The First Lady announced the challenge in a video on Tuesday, saying, “Are you ready for an AI challenge? Take part in this nationwide initiative to discover, develop, and expand AI’s potential.”
Melania emphasized America’s leadership, stating, “Just as America once led the world into the skies, we are poised to lead again, this time in the age of AI.”
“The Presidential AI Challenge seeks to inspire young people and educators to create AI-based innovative solutions to community challenges while fostering AI interest and competency. Students and educators of all backgrounds and expertise are encouraged to participate and ignite a new spirit of innovation as we celebrate 250 years of independence and look forward to the next 250 years.”
“The Presidential AI Challenge will foster interest and expertise in AI technology in America’s youth. Early training in the responsible use of AI tools will demystify this technology and prepare America’s students to be confident participants in the AI-assisted workforce, propelling our Nation to new heights of scientific innovation and economic achievement,” the contest’s website states.
All participants receive a certificate, while national champions earn cash prizes, cloud credits, and the opportunity to showcase their work at the White House.
In May, the First Lady announced an AI-generated audiobook for her memoir “Melania,” which used a digital recreation of her own voice.
