Humanoid Robot Delivers Historic Speech at White House AI Summit
First lady Melania Trump hosts an American-made humanoid robot called Figure 3 at a White House summit on AI education and child safety. The robot successfully addresses global first spouses and highlights the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence.
An American-made humanoid robot called Figure 3 delivers a historic speech in the White House East Room to introduce first lady Melania Trump. The robot speaks at the Fostering the Future Together Global Coalition Summit, an event focused on AI education and safety for children. An audience of global first spouses and tech representatives watches in stunned silence, snapping photos as the machine addresses the crowd.
The robot walks tentatively through the room on two feet and concludes its remarks by offering welcomes in 11 different languages with perfect pronunciation. This successful demonstration marks a stark contrast to a recent incident at a Moscow tech summit, where a Russian-made humanoid robot stumbles and falls before a crowd. Figure 3 completes its appearance without any major technical difficulties.
Melania Trump smiles at the robot and calls it her first American-made humanoid guest at the White House. She describes the moment as an inflection point for technology and humanity, sharing her vision for humanoid robots to become permanent fixtures in American classrooms. The event underscores the speed at which artificial intelligence evolves from mobile devices into physical, human-shaped tools.
