On Wednesday, a humanoid robot named “Figure 03” accompanied Melania Trump at Fostering the Future Together, a White House summit focused on artificial intelligence (AI) in education. The robot, developed by Sillicon Valley startup Figure AI, greeted attendees in 11 languages and was described as the first American-made humanoid guest at the White House. The First Lady used the event to advocate for greater integration of AI into classrooms, outlining a future in which humanoid teachers could deliver personalized lessons tailored to students’ learning pace and emotional state, while instantly accessing a wide range of academic subjects. Trump additionally emphasized that embracing AI in education could strengthen long-term U.S. economic leadership, while also acknowledging potential risks associated with technology use, including concerns around screen time and child development. The summit, attended by a number of international first spouses, including Brigitte Macron of France, highlighted the need for collaboration between governments, technology companies, and capital markets to scale AI-driven innovation.

Attorney General Ken Paxton has called for Gov. Greg Abbott to remove Kelly Hancock from his position as acting comptroller, labeling him a “Never Trumper” and an “incompetent loser.” Paxton stated: “Kelly Hancock was rejected by Texans because he failed to do his job,” emphasizing that Hancock's career is over. The demand follows Hancock's recent letter criticizing Paxton for allowing a Houston Muslim school into the Texas Education Freedom Accounts Program. Hancock requested Paxton to strip the corporate charter from the Houston Quran Academy, citing “documented ties to terrorism.” Despite the controversy, a federal court has mandated that Muslim schools be allowed to participate in the program. Hancock, who previously served as a state senator, was appointed acting comptroller after resigning from his Senate position. He lost the recent Republican primary to Don Huffines, who received 57% of the vote.
