President Donald Trump has issued a new Executive Order that launches the \u201cGenesis Mission<\/a>,\u201d an AI-focused initiative that will be led by the Department of Energy. It will \u201charness the current AI and advanced computing revolution to double the productivity and impact of American science and engineering within a decade,\u201d the DOE explained<\/a>. One of the mission\u2019s main goals is to build a centralized platform that will house a huge collection of datasets collected \u201cover decades of federal investments,\u201d as well as datasets from academic institutions and partners from the private sector. <\/p>\n

Those datasets will then be used to train scientific foundation models and to create AI agents, automate research workflows and accelerate scientific breakthroughs, the administration said in its announcement. \u201cThe platform will connect the world\u2019s best supercomputers, AI systems, and next-generation quantum systems with the most advanced scientific instruments in the nation,\u201d the Energy department said. <\/p>\n

Based on that statement, the platform will be linked to the two sovereign AI supercomputers<\/a> the agency is building at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, its famous research and development center. The machines, to be built by Hewlett Packard Enterprises, are meant to be the Trump AI Action Plan\u2019s<\/a> flagship supercomputers. The DOE previously revealed that the machines will be powered by AMD chips and will help tackle the biggest challenges in energy, medicine, health and national security. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe Genesis Mission marks a defining moment for the next era of American science. We are linking the nation\u2019s most advanced facilities, data, and computing into one closed-loop system to create a scientific instrument for the ages, an engine for discovery that doubles R&D productivity and solves challenges once thought impossible,\u201d said Dr. Dar\u00edo Gil, the Under Secretary for Science and Genesis Mission Director.<\/p>\n

In the next four months, the Energy department must identify its initial set of data and model assets for the Genesis platform. The department must be able to demonstrate \u201can initial operating capability of the platform for at least one of the national science and technology challenges\u201d the government has identified within nine months. While the list of challenges is pretty long, the Genesis Mission will focus on addressing three key challenges overall. First, it aims to accelerate nuclear and fusion energy, as well as to modernize the energy grid using AI. It also aims to power scientific discoveries for decades to come. Finally, it aims to create advanced AI technologies for the purpose of national security, such as systems that can ensure the reliability of America\u2019s nuclear weapons and can accelerate the development of materials for defense. <\/p>\n
