President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at speeding up scientific progress, referred to as the “Genesis Mission.” This initiative treats the global race in artificial intelligence as critical as the Manhattan Project, which created the atomic bomb. Oddly, the Genesis initiative does not have a defined budget, while other federal programs are being stripped of research funding.
The order highlights national security, scientific advancement, and energy innovations as key objectives, asserting that federal scientific data maintained by agencies such as NASA and the National Institutes of Health will play a vital role in this mission. These datasets include extensive metrics, visuals, and simulations pertinent to various fields, like oceanography, space, and genomics.
Science adviser Michael Kratsios described the Genesis Mission in a press call as “the largest marshaling of federal scientific resources since the Apollo program,” indicating a significant commitment to utilizing AI for automating experiment design, speeding up simulations, and developing protective models for scientific investigations.
The Department of Energy has two months to pinpoint 20 priority challenges and outline timelines for cataloging available computing resources and advancing plans for data use. Priority areas include fusion energy, nuclear reactors, electric-grid enhancements, new materials, quantum computing, and life-saving drugs, with an aim of doubling the effectiveness of American research and innovation in the next decade.
