First Lady Melania Trump floated the idea of recreating ancient Greek philosopher Plato as a "humanoid" robot to teach the nation's children.

At an event titled "Melania Trump's Fostering the Future Together Global Coalition Summit at the White House" on Wednesday, the first lady was seen entering the room with an android similar to Elon Musk's Optimus robot.

She spoke at the summit about how the device could be used to replace traditional teachers.
