President Trump's AI push aligns with his broader "Winning the AI Race: America’s AI Action Plan," published in July.
The First Lady acknowledged the service and 250-year legacy of the Marine Corps, including two Marines she welcomed on stage, Sergeant Blake Donoher and Corporal Daishamari Cannon.
Trump said that the "most significant change will be speed" when it comes to AI, adding that "artificial intelligence will take center stage in the theater of war... but of course, it is the Marine who will always play the most critical role in realizing mission success."

The event coincided with national Thanksgiving preparations, where both the First and Second Lady visited classrooms at Camp Lejeune.
Students showcased AI projects as part of the Presidential Artificial Intelligence Challenge during the visit. Trump hugged a shy student in a sweet moment caught on camera in a first-grade class where kids read aloud and joined in a lively game of "Heads Up," wearing a matching notecard on her head.
"Don't be shy," the First Lady said before embracing the boy who seemed nervous to meet her.
The First Lady concluded her remarks with heartfelt thanks to service members and their families.
"To every Service Member — thank you for standing watch so others can celebrate in peace. And to every military spouse and child — thank you for your strength and love," Trump said. "You serve our country, too."
