Melania Trump Introduces AI Humanoid; Says Robots Should Teach Kids
“You’re my first American-made humanoid guest in the White House,” First Lady Melania Trump said to a robot at the White House yesterday.
The stunt kicked off the Fostering the Future Together initiative, which gathered 45 first spouses from around the globe to discuss integrating artificial intelligence and Big Tech into the education of children.
After its introduction, the humanoid, created by the AI company Figure, said, “It is an honor to be at Fostering the Future Together’s Global Coalition Inaugural Meeting. I’m Figure3, a humanoid built in the United States of America. I am grateful to be part of this historic movement to empower children with technology and education.”
AI Personified
The first lady brought the humanoid to the White House to advocate for AI robots instructing children at home and in the classroom. Interactions between children and AI will not be limited to screens. “The future of AI is ‘personified’ — it will be formed in the shape of humans,” she revealed.
“Very soon, artificial intelligence will move from our mobile phones to humanoids that deliver utility,” she continued. “Since our environment is designed for people, humanoid systems are uniquely suited to navigate and operate within our world.”
She then asked the nation to imagine a humanoid educator named “Plato” that could teach history, philosophy, science, math, and the “entire corpus of information” all in the comfort of the American home. This scenario is not purely imaginative, she said; it is inevitable.
Making a case for practicality, Mrs. Trump argued that humanoids are patient, do not need rest, and are always available, unlike human teachers. This, she posited, will produce a “well-rounded lifestyle for our children, freeing up time for being with friends, playing sports, and developing interests beyond school. A more complete person.”
She couched the pitch with the acknowledgment that technology should be met with cautious optimism, but did not list any threats or downsides.
Perhaps the most shocking angle is that the first lady argued that AI humanoids could be so connected to children that they could even analyze and cater to their emotional state.
AI analyst Joe Allen responded to the issue on X: “‘Own the libs’ by feeding your kids to Moloch. Half these kids were made functionally illiterate by digital technology and now they’re giving them robot teachers to fix it. How will our enemies ever compete?”
March 25: Big Day for Big Tech
On the same day Mrs. Trump introduced Figure3, President Donald Trump announced the first appointments to his President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, created by Executive Order on January 23, 2025.
The appointments are a who’s who of Big Tech oligarchs, including Marc Andreessen (co-founder of Andreessen Horowitz and funder of Peter Thiel’s Palantir); Larry Ellison (Oracle’s co-founder, who pitched last year at the White House personalized AI-powered cancer vaccines); and even World Economic Forum Young Global Leader and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
Indeed, both the president’s appointments and the first lady’s remarks are in line with Trump’s April 23, 2025, executive order titled Advancing Artificial Intelligence Education for American Youth.
The agenda is to promote AI literacy, integration, and public-private partnerships to engage youth with the technology to “improve educational outcomes” from K-12. Equipping young people to become big-tech innovators is also at the heart of the agenda.
What Is Really Going On?
While it is true that AI is a tool that can be used for both good purposes and evil ends, injecting the power of new and untested technology into the brains of children is troublesome at best. Replacing human connections with humanoid “teachers” makes matters even worse.
In fact, the Deep State Insiders have been pushing for AI integration in education for years. In 2019, the United Nations met in China and released the Beijing Consensus on Artificial Intelligence and Education. The UN called for governments to “promote the equitable use of AI in education in the context of the global and regional Education 2030 architecture.”
Bill Gates has also been behind the agenda for AI-powered education for years. On a podcast in 2023, Gates said, “I do think the AI will be like a great high school teacher who really marks your essay, and you go back and think, ‘OK, I need to step up there.’” He has also remarked that AI will be “as good a tutor as any human could [be].”
