US Government Launches Genesis Mission for AI Dominance

A new executive order by the Trump administration has launched the “Genesis Mission,” a government-wide initiative designed to speed up American AI innovation. The plan directs the Department of Energy and National Laboratories to build an integrated platform. This system will use massive federal scientific datasets to train advanced AI models. The goal is to automate research workflows and quicken breakthroughs in fields like biotechnology and quantum science, potentially shortening discovery timelines from years to mere hours. The Genesis Mission is a central part of a national strategy to compete with China in artificial intelligence. The new directive also rescinds a prior AI safety executive order.
