White House launches Genesis Mission to spur AI with federal assets
""The Genesis Mission will bring together our Nation's research and development resources - combining the efforts of brilliant American scientists, including those at our national laboratories, with pioneering American businesses; world-renowned universities; and existing research infrastructure, data repositories, production plants, and national security sites - to achieve dramatic acceleration in AI development and utilization," the White House release said. The Department of Energy will helm the initiative and draw on resources like its network of National Labs and their world-class supercomputers."
"An American Science and Security Platform will function as the core infrastructure to support Genesis operations, including high-performance computing, AI modeling and analysis, running domain-specific foundation models and working with experimental tools, among other uses. The platform will be used by agencies participating in Genesis and will include a particular focus on the top 20 science and technology challenges deemed to be of national importance by the Energy secretary, "including biotechnology, critical materials, nuclear fission and fusion energy, space exploration, quantum information science, and semiconductors and microelectronics," per a White House fact sheet."
An executive order launches the Genesis Mission to build an AI experimentation platform that leverages federal government datasets to train AI agents and scientific foundation models. The Department of Energy will lead the initiative and use National Labs and supercomputers for implementation. An American Science and Security Platform will provide core infrastructure for high-performance computing, AI modeling, domain-specific foundation models, and experimental tools. The program will integrate national research resources from businesses, universities, production plants, and security sites. The platform will prioritize the top 20 science and technology challenges and require identification, digitization, standardization, and provenance tracking of federal data.
