U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order to launch a government-wide effort to build an integrated artificial intelligence platform to harness federal scientific datasets to train next-generation technologies. The effort, dubbed the Genesis Mission, aims to transform scientific research and speed scientific discoveries by using massive government scientific datasets “to train scientific foundation models and create AI agents to test new hypotheses, automate research workflows, and accelerate scientific breakthroughs.
Trump directed the U.S. Energy Department and U.S. National Laboratories to unite America’s brightest minds, most powerful computers, and vast scientific data into one cooperative system for research.
