Humanoid robot joins First Lady at White House to showcase future of AI teaching

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.

ED to vacate HQ as overhaul accelerates

The U.S. Department of Education has announced it will leave its Washington, D.C., headquarters by August and transfer the building to the Department of Energy, in a move that underscores the Trump administration’s ongoing efforts to reduce and potentially dismantle the agency. The decision to move out of the Lyndon B. Johnson Building follows significant staff cuts, the reassignment of major programs, including student loan management and education grants, to other federal departments, and broader attempts to shrink the federal education footprint, with officials citing cost savings of about $4.8m annually and more efficient use of space. While supporters argue the move to 500 D Street SW,, around a block away, changes reduce bureaucracy and improve government efficiency, critics warn the restructuring could create confusion, weaken oversight, and negatively impact services for students, particularly as the administration continues to pursue its goal of shifting education responsibilities away from the federal level.
