But the first lady warned that "as leaders and parents we must manage AI’s growth responsibly."
"During this primitive stage, it is our duty to treat AI as we would our own children — empowering, but with watchful guidance," the first lady said. "We are living in a moment of wonder, and it is our responsibility to prepare America’s children."
The meeting is expected to feature remarks by the first lady and task force members, along with private sector leaders who have pledged to support AI education across the nation.

In 2025, the first lady garnered support on Capitol Hill for the passage of the Take it Down Act, which was signed into law by the president on May 19. The law punishes internet abuse involving nonconsensual, explicit imagery.
