Breaking: President Donald J. Trump has signed an executive order creating the Genesis Mission, a national AI initiative widely compared to a “Manhattan Project for AI.” The program directs the Department of Energy to unite federal supercomputers, national labs, scientific datasets, universities, and tech companies to accelerate breakthroughs across energy, biotechnology, materials science, and quantum research.
The order describes the mission as a historic effort “comparable in urgency and ambition to the Manhattan Project.” The Genesis platform will develop large-scale scientific AI models, automate experiments, and speed up discovery.
Funding details remain unclear, but the initiative signals one of the largest U.S. science mobilizations in decades.
