First Lady Melania Trump convened a pivotal meeting of the White House Task Force on AI Education on September 4, 2025, promoting broader access to AI for students across the U.S. Moderated by Trump, the session included prominent tech leaders - such as Google CEO Sundar Pichai and IBM CEO Arvind Krishna - alongside Education Secretary Linda McMahon and other officials .

The meeting launched the Presidential AI Challenge, a nationwide K–12 initiative encouraging students and educators to solve community issues using artificial intelligence. Attendees from major tech firms - including Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and OpenAI - pledged resources such as AI tools, training, and support to enrich AI literacy in schools.

While Trump hailed AI as America’s “greatest engine of progress,” some experts raised concerns about its safe implementation and insufficient discussion of mental health risks associated with AI use among youth. Still, the event underscored a national push to integrate AI training for students—potentially reshaping education and future workforce readiness.
