President Trump signed an executive order to launch "The Genesis Mission," a national initiative to mobilize artificial intelligence for the purpose of accelerating scientific discoveries.

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, announced on Monday a national initiative called "The Genesis Mission," aimed at mobilizing artificial intelligence (AI) to accelerate scientific progress. Through an executive order, Trump called for the unification of the country's 17 national laboratories into a "cooperative research system." The initiative will integrate supercomputers and data resources of the U.S. to create a "closed-loop AI experimentation platform." The White House compared the initiative to the Apollo program, prioritizing major scientific challenges such as nuclear fusion and space exploration. Nvidia and the AI startup Anthropic have joined the initiative, emphasizing the importance of collaboration between laboratories, industry, and academia to accelerate discoveries in the fields of energy and national security. Trump highlighted the need for a federal standard for regulating AI, criticizing state regulations that could hinder the development of technology.
