"Emerging technology research dominates the Energy Department's coming scientific agenda, with agency leadership moving in sync with the Trump administration's larger goal of ensuring the U.S. wins the global race to artificial intelligence dominance. Darío Gil, Energy's undersecretary for science, testified before the House Science, Space and Technology Committee on the agency's technological priorities - most notably the new Genesis Mission unveiled by President Doanld Trump last month."
"In addition to clarifying the Genesis Mission's role as an "integrated discovery platform" that will marry national laboratories, academia and industry partners to deliver new AI applications, Gil unveiled the first investment installment of $320 million for the American Science Cloud and the Transformational Model Consortia. These two initiatives, which were both created from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, will further help disperse funding to Energy's national laboratory network to begin curating data sets to train new scientific AI models."
""At the core, we're doing two things: we're building a platform, and we are constructing a portfolio of scientific and engineering challenges for energy, national security and discovery science," Gil said. Although Genesis is primarily focused on developing new and experimental AI applications and running them on the nation's network of high-performance supercomputers, Gil also shared other emerging tech sectors that Energy is prioritizing and aiming to incorporate into the Genesis infrastructure."
Emerging technology research will dominate the Energy Department's scientific agenda, aligning leadership with a national goal of U.S. AI dominance. Darío Gil, Energy's undersecretary for science, announced the Genesis Mission framed as a Manhattan- or Apollo-scale integrated discovery platform linking national laboratories, academia and industry to produce new AI applications. The department allocated $320 million to the American Science Cloud and the Transformational Model Consortia to curate datasets and fund national laboratory AI model development. The Genesis portfolio will pair platform infrastructure with scientific and engineering challenge projects across energy, national security and discovery science. Quantum computing and high-performance supercomputing are slated for integration.
