President Trump has signed a new Executive Order (EO) launching the Genesis Mission, a national artificial intelligence initiative led by the Department of Energy (DOE) that aims to reshape American energy, science and security.
The Department of Energy says the effort will use the current wave of AI and advanced computing to double the productivity and impact of US science and engineering within a decade, while strengthening technological leadership and global competitiveness.
Under the plan, the DOE will connect the nation’s most powerful supercomputers, AI systems and emerging quantum platforms into a single integrated discovery engine, linking those capabilities with advanced scientific instruments across 17 National Laboratories and drawing on roughly 40,000 scientists, engineers and technical staff.
The DOE says the Genesis Mission will build an integrated platform that supports three core objectives of national importance, targeting American energy dominance, advancing discovery science and ensuring national security with AI-driven tools.
“The Genesis Mission will accelerate advanced nuclear, fusion, and grid modernization using AI to provide affordable, reliable, and secure energy for Americans…
Through DOE’s investment and collaboration with industry, America is building the quantum ecosystem that will power discoveries—and industries—for decades to come…
The DOE will create advanced AI technologies for national security missions, deploy systems to ensure the safety and reliability of the U.S. nuclear stockpile, and accelerate the development of defense-ready materials.”
Under the EO, the Secretary of Energy is responsible for implementing the Genesis Mission, including setting priorities, securing resources and delegating tasks. The DOE is also tasked with identifying the 20 biggest science and tech issues of national importance within 60 days. After 12 months and every year after, the Energy Secretary is expected to submit reports to the president.
Says U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright,
“Throughout history, from the Manhattan Project to the Apollo mission, our nation’s brightest minds and industries have answered the call when their nation needed them. Today, the United States is calling on them once again. Under President Trump’s leadership, the Genesis Mission will unleash the full power of our National Laboratories, supercomputers, and dataresources to ensure that America is the global leader in artificial intelligence and to usher in a new golden era of American discovery.”
