Trump launches 'Genesis Mission' to speed up AI-powered science
Donald Trump just announced the Genesis Mission, a big national push to use AI and supercomputers for faster scientific breakthroughs.
Led by the Department of Energy, the plan is to bring together huge federal datasets and partner with labs and private companies, building an AI platform that can design experiments, run simulations, and even operate robotic labs.
Why should you care?
Genesis could shrink discovery timelines from years to days—think solving tough problems like protein folding or new energy tech way faster.
Michael Kratsios called it "the largest marshaling of federal scientific resources since the Apollo program."
The mission is all about uniting government, universities, and industry around secure data sharing in fields like biotech, quantum science, nuclear energy, and semiconductors—helping the US stay ahead in innovation and technology leadership.
