White House launches Genesis Mission for AI-driven science
Policymakers describe the Genesis Mission as a historic push to expand America’s technological capacity and secure long-term competitiveness in AI.
Washington prepares for a significant shift in research as the White House launches the Genesis Mission, a national push to accelerate innovation through advanced AI. The initiative utilises AI to enhance US US technological leadership in a competitive global landscape.
The programme puts the Department of Energy at the centre, tasked with building a unified AI platform linking supercomputers, federal datasets and national laboratories.
The goal is to develop AI models and agents that automate experiments, test hypotheses and accelerate breakthroughs in key scientific fields.
Federal agencies, universities and private firms will conduct coordinated research using shared data spaces, secure computing and standardised partnership frameworks. Priority areas cover biotechnology, semiconductors, quantum science, critical materials and next-generation energy.
Officials argue that the Genesis Mission represents one of the most ambitious attempts to modernise US research infrastructure. Annual reviews will track scientific progress, security, collaborations and AI-driven breakthroughs.
