On the 26th (local time), Melania Trump announced through the White House website, "The AI Challenge will be the first step in ensuring that the next generation gains a fundamental understanding of important new technologies."

Melania Trump shared her thoughts on AI technology, reflecting on her own experience creating an audiobook using AI. She discussed both the potential and inherent risks of AI technology, stating, "In just a few years, AI will become the driving force behind every sector of our industry," and emphasized, "It is crucial for the United States to lead the world."

The main objective of the "AI Challenge" is to solve real-world problems in local communities using AI-based solutions. The challenge is open to students and teachers from kindergarten (the year before entering elementary school) through 12th grade (senior year of high school). Michael Kratsios, Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), explained, "AI is the core technology of the era in which the next generation will live," and added, "We aim to provide American youth with opportunities to solve problems and collaborate using AI from an early age."

President Trump mentioned the "AI Challenge" during a Cabinet meeting that day, saying, "Melania Trump has worked very hard for this," and added, "When she sets her mind to something, no one can do it better than she can."
