"China has fired their starter pistol and has organized what you would call the equivalent of their public sector. This is our answer to that, said Brian Spears, the technical director of the Genesis Mission leading the scientific and engineering foundation at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. This mission gives us a central, coherent and focused effort at scale in order to take advantage of what we can do."
"At Lawrence, AI researchers suggest AI could be deployed to generate hypotheses and push those ideas to the edge. As artificial intelligence takes shape as the biggest technological race of the 21st century, the United States hopes to leverage its advancements to solve the country's most urgent and complicated problems. Spears said these include producing lifesaving drugs in years, rather than decades, and the quest to make fusion energy the century-long effort by science to harness the power of stars on Earth a practical reality."
The Genesis Mission is a multibillion-dollar U.S. initiative to accelerate artificial intelligence and double the productivity and impact of American science and engineering within a decade. Lawrence Berkeley, Lawrence Livermore, and SLAC National Accelerator Lab will play central roles in the Bay Area. The initiative responds to rapid Chinese advances by coordinating large-scale scientific and engineering efforts. AI will be used to generate hypotheses, speed drug development from decades to years, and advance fusion energy research. The El Capitan supercomputer, powered by an AMD high-performance chip, will accelerate computational work at Lawrence Livermore.
