First lady Melania Trump emphasized the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence on Thursday, urging the administration to educate the next generation of students on how to use the technology.

“We are living in a moment of wonder, and it is our responsibility to prepare America’s children. Cars now steer themselves through our cities, robots hold steady hands in the operating room, and drones are redefining the future of war,” Trump said in her opening remarks at the second meeting of the White House Task Force on AI.
