Melania Trump brings droid to White House event

First Lady Melania Trump made headlines on Wednesday by hosting a White House summit on educational technology accompanied by a “Figure 3” humanoid robot. Rather than appearing with President Donald Trump, the 55-year-old First Lady walked the red carpet with the gray-and-black android, which briefly addressed the crowd in the East Room. The event, attended by notable figures including French First Lady Brigitte Macron, centered on Melania’s “Be Best” style focus on AI and digital empowerment for children. During her remarks, she envisioned a future where AI educators like “Plato” provide students with instantaneous access to classical studies and foster deep critical thinking. This appearance underscores Melania’s increasing visibility during the President’s second term, alongside her recent commercial ventures, including a multi-million-dollar Amazon documentary and an AI-narrated version of her autobiography.
