For the first time, a humanoid robot escorted Melania Trump at the White House during the Fostering the Future Together Global Coalition Summit.

She promoted AI robots as “personalized” educators, capable of helping children develop critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and a well-rounded lifestyle while adapting to each student’s pace and emotional state.

The first lady highlighted companies like Meta Platforms, Microsoft, OpenAI, Google, Zoom, and Adobe as key drivers of AI innovation but emphasized that safety and caution must guide implementation.

She argued that integrating AI into education would ensure U.S. children become the most technologically fluent generation, securing long-term economic and intellectual leadership, CBS News has reported.

The event coincided with a landmark Los Angeles jury ruling holding Meta Platforms and YouTube liable for creating addictive products for minors, highlighting growing scrutiny of technology’s impact on youth.
