The first lady said Thursday during a White House event that "it is our duty to treat AI as we would our own children."
First lady Melania Trump hosted a meeting on Tuesday of the White House Task Force on Artificial Intelligence Education and urged public and private leaders to help protect children from the dangers of the burgeoning technology.
“We are living in a moment of wonder, and it is our responsibility to prepare children in America,” declared the first lady. “Cars now steer themselves through our cities, robots hold steady hands in the operating room and drones are redefining the future of war.”
“Innovations of first-generation humanoids, factory automation and autonomous vehicles have surged from private sector investment,” she said. “Every one of these advancements, it’s powered by AI. The robots are here. Our future is no longer science fiction.”
