"Under the order, the Department of Energy will build a platform with AI capabilities for scientists and engineers to use in their work. It would also create a portfolio of scientific and engineering challenges around energy and national security for Genesis Mission participants to pursue. Other departments and agencies will be able to tackle their own challenges - such as around drug discovery - through the executive order."
"The big picture: Though they didn't give any cost estimates, administration officials portrayed the effort as the largest marshaling of federal scientific resources since the Apollo space program in the 1960s. "The Genesis Mission will use AI to automate experiment, design, [and] accelerate simulations and generate predictive models for everything from protein folding to fusion plasma dynamics," Michael Kratsios, who heads the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, told reporters."
The Genesis Mission encourages government information sharing with industry, academia and other scientific institutions. The Department of Energy will build a platform with AI capabilities for scientists and engineers to use in their work. The initiative will create a portfolio of scientific and engineering challenges focused on energy and national security and allow other departments to pursue challenges such as drug discovery. Administration officials described the effort as the largest mobilization of federal scientific resources since Apollo. AI will automate experiments, accelerate simulations and generate predictive models from protein folding to fusion plasma dynamics. The project aims to improve the electricity grid, lower energy costs and create jobs.
