President Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing a new federal programme to accelerate American artificial intelligence research and applications.
Dubbed the “Genesis Mission,” the initiative aims to mobilise federal data and resources to create AI models with practical scientific impact.
“The Genesis Mission will dramatically accelerate scientific discovery, strengthen national security, secure energy dominance, enhance workforce productivity, and multiply the return on taxpayer investment into research and development,” the order states.
Michael Kratsios, Assistant to the President for Science and Technology and Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, will lead the effort.
The order directs Secretary of Energy Chris Wright to establish an American Science and Security Platform, centralising computing infrastructure and datasets for AI research.
The platform will leverage decades of federal data to train scientific foundation models, develop AI agents, automate research workflows, and accelerate breakthroughs.
Wright but said the government wanted to pivot those efforts to "focus on scientific discovery, engineering advancements, and to do that, you need the data sets that are contained across our national labs."
Public-private collaboration is a key component: within 90 days, the Department of Energy must identify available federal and industry resources to support the initiative. AI models will be applied to pressing scientific challenges, including advanced manufacturing, robotics, biotechnology, and nuclear energy, within 270 days.
The Genesis Mission builds on the existing National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource (NAIRR), created in 2020 to provide a national infrastructure for AI research. NAIRR has coordinated federal agencies such as the Department of Defense, NASA, and the National Institutes of Health, alongside private partners including OpenAI, Google, and Palantir.
The order follows the Trump administration’s AI Action Plan and recent partnerships with leading AI companies to develop next-generation supercomputers. In October, the Department of Energy partnered with AMD to launch two new supercomputers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, with further expansions planned using Nvidia chips to advance quantum-computing and AI-focused research.
Trump has prioritised winning the AI race against China. Soon after taking office in January, Trump ordered his administration to produce an AI Action Plan that would make "America the world capital in artificial intelligence" and reduce regulatory barriers to its rapid expansion. He also rescinded an AI safety executive order signed by his predecessor Joe Biden.
