US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order on Monday to launch a federal project, aiming to turbocharge American artificial intelligence, development, and scientific innovations.
Named as “Genesis Mission”, this project can bring a paradigm shift in American scientific and AI innovations.
Being compared to the Manhattan project in urgency and scope, Genesis Mission will transform the tech industry dominated with next-gen technologies.
Here are the key behind new AI innovation push:
The project will not only transform scientific research but also expedite scientific discoveries. Moreover, cutting-edge government-based scientific datasets will be used to train scientific foundation models and develop AI agents to bring out new hypotheses and automate research breakthroughs.
The mission will aim to expand computational infrastructure and resources, enhance access to various federal datasets, and accelerate real-world applications by integrating with science.
Under the Genesis Mission, a new “American Science and Security Platform” will be established, aiming to centralize infrastructure for AI push. This platform will be meant to provide researchers with prerequisite datasets and cloud computing power to train AI models.
“The Genesis Mission will build an integrated AI platform to harness Federal scientific datasets — the world’s largest collection of such datasets, developed over decades of Federal investments — to train scientific foundation models.”
According to Michael Kratsios, the head of Science and Technology Policy, the mission will also bring scientific revolution.
“The mission aims to use AI to automate and generate predictive models for everything from protein folding to fusion plasma dynamics. This will shorten discovery timelines from years to days or even hours,” he said.
In a nutshell, Monday's executive order based on the existing National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource (NAIRR) will “dramatically expedite scientific discovery, strengthen national security, secure energy dominance, enhance workforce productivity, and multiply the return on taxpayer investment into research and development.”
