🇺🇸 Genesis Mission: Reshaping America's Future 🚀

Tech & Science

President Donald Trump has announced the “Genesis Mission,” a new executive order launching an AI-focused initiative spearheaded by the Department of Energy. The mission aims to “harness the current AI and advanced computing revolution to double the productivity and impact of American science and engineering within a decade,” according to the DOE. A central component will be the creation of a platform designed to house a vast collection of datasets accumulated “over decades of federal investments,” as well as data from academic institutions and private sector partners. These datasets will be used to train scientific foundation models and create AI agents, automate research workflows, and accelerate scientific breakthroughs, the administration stated. The platform will connect the world’s best supercomputers, AI systems, and next-generation quantum systems with the nation’s most advanced scientific instruments. Specifically, the effort will leverage the two sovereign AI supercomputers being developed by the agency at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, produced by Hewlett Packard Enterprises. These machines, central to the TrumpAI Action Plan, will be powered by AMD chips and will address critical challenges across energy, medicine, health, and national security.

Mission marks a defining moment for the next era of American science. By linking the nation’s most advanced facilities, data, and computing into a closed-loop system, we are creating a scientific instrument for the ages – an engine for discovery poised to double R&D productivity and address challenges previously considered insurmountable. According to Dr. Darío Gil, the Under Secretary for Science and Genesis Mission Director, this initiative will accelerate progress in nuclear and fusion energy, as well as modernize the energy grid through the application of artificial intelligence. Furthermore, the project aims to power scientific discoveries for decades to come and to develop advanced AI technologies specifically for national security, including systems designed to ensure the reliability of America’s nuclear weapons and to expedite the development of materials for defense applications.
