Trump Signs Order Launching AI Genesis Mission

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday establishing the Genesis Mission, a national initiative to accelerate scientific discoveries by integrating artificial intelligence with federal data resources, national laboratories, tech companies and universities.

The order directs Energy Secretary Chris Wright to lead the effort across the Department of Energy's 17 national laboratories, creating a centralized digital platform known as the American Science and Security Platform. This infrastructure will consolidate scientific datasets from federal research, other agencies, academic institutions and approved private partners. It will incorporate high-performance computing, including supercomputers from the national labs and secure cloud-based AI environments, to support large-scale model training, simulations and experimentation.

White House officials described the mission as the federal government's most ambitious mobilization of scientific resources since the Apollo program in the 1960s and 1970s. The initiative aims to address challenges in engineering, energy production and national security, such as streamlining the electric grid, advancing nuclear fusion,...
