| <!-- {{YTV|url=https://www.youtube.com/live/TbPBEi8rpsg|description=Genesis Mission DOE Launch}} -->The '''Genesis Mission''' is a national [[initiative]] launched by the United States government, formalized by an [[Executive order|Executive Order]] signed by [[Donald Trump|President Donald J. Trump]] on [https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/11/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-unveils-the-genesis-missionto-accelerate-ai-for-scientific-discovery/ November 25, 2025]. This mission aims to revolutionize scientific research and accelerate discovery through the extensive application of [[artificial intelligence]] (AI). The Department of Energy (DOE) is central to this effort, tasked with leveraging its [[National laboratory|National Laboratories]], [[supercomputing capabilities]], and vast scientific data to create a cooperative system for research.
| | The initiative establishes a secure national platform that integrates the DOE’s 17 [[National Laboratories]], exascale supercomputers, and more than 100 petabytes of unique scientific data to train domain-specific AI foundation models and enable closed-loop autonomous experimentation.<ref name="doe" /><ref name="genesis-site" /> |
|
| |
|
| Key components of the Genesis Mission include the establishment of a closed-loop AI experimentation platform within the DOE, designed to integrate national supercomputers and unique data assets to generate scientific foundation models and power robotic laboratories. The Assistant to the President for Science and Technology (APST) is responsible for coordinating this national initiative and integrating data and infrastructure across federal agencies. Collaboration with academia and private-sector innovators is also a critical aspect of the mission.
| | == Background and establishment == |
| | The Genesis Mission was formally announced on November 24, 2025.<ref name="eo" /><ref name="factsheet" /> It builds on a series of 2025 Trump administration executive actions promoting American AI leadership, including the January 2025 order removing regulatory barriers to AI development and the July 2025 “America’s AI Action Plan.”<ref name="factsheet" /> |
|
| |
|
| Priority research areas encompass (below) where chosen for their potential to enhance national, economic, and health security.
| | Administration officials have described the mission as a response to evidence of declining U.S. scientific productivity since the mid-20th century despite steadily increasing federal R&D investment, citing metrics such as falling rates of new drug approvals and transformative discoveries.<ref name="factsheet" /> The initiative is frequently compared by its proponents to historic national efforts including the [[Manhattan Project]] and [[Apollo program]].<ref name="doe" /> |
