"The Genesis Mission will bring together our Nation's research and development resources - combining the efforts of brilliant American scientists, including those at our national laboratories, with pioneering American businesses; world-renowned universities; and existing research infrastructure, data repositories, production plants, and national security sites - to achieve dramatic acceleration in AI development and utilization," the executive order says."
"It solicits private sector and university partners to use their AI capability to help the government solve engineering, energy and national security problems, including streamlining the nation's electric grid, according to White House officials who spoke to reporters on condition of anonymity to describe the order before it was signed."
"The administration portrayed the effort as the government's most ambitious marshaling of federal scientific resources since the Apollo space missions of the late 1960s and early 1970s, even as it had cut billions of dollars in federal funding for scientific research and thousands of scientists had lost their jobs and funding."
President Donald Trump directed the federal government to partner with technology companies and universities to convert government scientific data into discoveries through a program named the Genesis Mission. The executive order instructs the Department of Energy and national laboratories to build a digital platform concentrating national scientific data in one place. The initiative invites private-sector and university AI capabilities to address engineering, energy, and national security challenges, including efforts to streamline the electric grid. The administration framed the effort as the largest federal scientific mobilization since Apollo despite recent federal research funding cuts and related job losses.
