First lady Melania Trump awarded finalists of the first Presidential Artificial Intelligence Challenge on Tuesday at the White House, celebrating educators and students who used the developing technology to create projects addressing today’s issues.

“Today is about opening doors,” Trump said. “When new doors open, passions flow, courage blossoms, and dreams are realized. AI inspires. Use this chapter of your life to sail away with your dreams — to continue to build boldly, and importantly, to safeguard America’s leading position in the world of technology.”
