The post Trump Signs ‘Genesis Mission’ Executive Order to Use AI to Supercharge US Innovation appeared com. In brief The executive order established the Genesis Mission as a national AI-for-science program. The Department of Energy is tasked with building a unified platform that connects supercomputers, cloud AI systems, and scientific datasets. Agencies face deadlines to identify computing resources and demonstrate early capabilities. President Trump signed an executive order on Monday that establishes the “Genesis Mission,” a national AI-for-science initiative that officials described as the largest federal research effort since the Manhattan Project. The order directs agencies to connect federal datasets, national laboratory supercomputers, and new AI systems that the administration said would accelerate scientific discovery across several fields and strengthen U. S. technological competitiveness. The order also creates a centralized system called the American Science and Security Platform. The Department of Energy said the platform would link supercomputers, secure cloud AI environments, scientific datasets, simulation tools, and automated laboratory systems to support model training and AI-directed experimentation. “The Genesis Mission will bring together our nation’s research and development resources-combining the efforts of brilliant American scientists, including those at our national laboratories, with pioneering American businesses; world-renowned universities; and existing research infrastructure, data repositories, production plants, and national security sites-to achieve dramatic acceleration in AI development and utilization,” the order said.  Officials from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and the Department of Energy said the Genesis Mission aims to cut research timelines “from years to days or even hours” by combining federal data with neural networks trained to generate predictions, direct experiments, and run simulations. They said the program would preserve copyright protections and national security restrictions, with open data available to researchers and proprietary or classified material limited to approved users. “We operate 28 user facilities and support 40, 000 scientists and engineers. Some of the data sets are proprietary and bilateral with each.
