The White House said in an executive order that President Donald Trump launched the Genesis Mission, directing the Department of Energy to build an integrated AI platform that harnesses federal scientific datasets, supercomputers and national labs.
According to the White House, DOE will create a closed-loop AI experimentation platform to train scientific foundation models and power robotic laboratories, uniting “our Nation’s world-class supercomputers and unique data assets.”
“The Genesis Mission connects world-class scientific data with the most advanced American AI to unlock breakthroughs in medicine, energy, materials science, and beyond,” said Michael Kratsios, Director of the White House of Science and Technology Policy.
The order positions the platform to possibly accelerate research in priority domains (biotechnology, nuclear energy, quantum science, microelectronics) while protecting national, economic and health security.
DOE and U.S. National Laboratories will stand up the platform and publish implementation details under the order.
