The Genesis Mission is a sweeping federal initiative launched via executive order to accelerate scientific discovery by using artificial intelligence. It establishes a unified, high-performance computing platform- leveraging national lab supercomputers, cloud environments, and secure data access- that brings together federal research agencies, universities, businesses, and national security sites. This platform will train “scientific foundation models” and deploy AI agents to test hypotheses, automate workflows, and rapidly simulate experiments.

Under the plan, the Department of Energy is charged with leading the effort, building infrastructure, coordinating data, and setting research priorities. These priorities include at least 20 major science and technology challenges, such as advanced manufacturing, biotechnology, semiconductors, quantum information, and nuclear fission and fusion energy.

The mission also calls for close collaboration across government, industry, and academia, with unified data-sharing frameworks, partnerships, and mechanisms for both training scientists and protecting sensitive information. Annual reporting will track progress, resource use, and breakthroughs.

Overall, the goal is to dramatically shorten research timelines, strengthen national security and energy leadership, boost the productivity of public-sector R&D, and cement American dominance in AI-driven science.
