As part of her continued efforts to help the robots win the AI takeover, the First Lady is once again forcing new AI tech onto the heads of our youngest and most undeveloped minds.
Back in September, when Melania Trump gave a random speech about AI to some tech CEOs, she ominously declared, “The robots are here,” and “our future is no longer science fiction.” What followed in March was the First Lady’s global summit, “Fostering the Future Together,” where she was out-mogged by a humanoid robot while pushing fantasies about AI educators. So it’s no surprise that when hosting King Charles and Queen Camila for a state visit this week, she made sure to gather her gizmos and gadgets and log out of her virtual reality world to give Her Majesty The Queen a taste of our grim future.
On Tuesday, the First Lady led an “educational VR experience” for Queen Camila, which hosted top students from the Presidential AI Challenge, who were subsequently strapped into VR headsets and Meta Ray-Bans and let loose on the grounds.

“The students enjoyed a groundbreaking educational experience which brought them to Buckingham Palace through the use of VR, while physically standing on the White House Tennis Pavilion grounds,” said Melania in her remarks.
In a video of the “groundbreaking educational experience,” two girls linger behind their VR headsets, frozen in place, as if any step might send them adrift into…the other world. Meanwhile, Melania and Queen Camilla stand off to the side, peering into an iPad as an acoustic cover of “Isn’t She Lovely” plays in the background. The future sure looks bright!
And of course, for the duration of the event, Melania sported her own bespoke headset, aka her signature enormous wide-brimmed hat, which must be some VR device that transports her to an alternate reality where she never married that guy.
At her summit in March, Melania described a hypothetical robot teacher called Plato that she dreams of one day setting loose on the children: “Imagine a humanoid educator named ‘Plato.’ Access to classical studies—literature, science, art, philosophy, mathematics, and history—in your home. Plato will provide a personalized experience, adaptive to the needs of each student. Plato is always patient and always available.” Sure, Plato might kill us all, but at least we’ll have sick VR sunglasses to shield our eyes from the end times!
