US President Donald Trump has launched the «Mission Genesis» project, which is intended to provide the United States with technological leadership in the field of artificial intelligence.
This was reported on the official White House website, where this initiative is equated with the «Manhattan Project» during World War II.
«The Genesis mission will create an integrated artificial intelligence platform using federal scientific datasets—the world’s largest collection of such datasets, developed through decades of federal investment,» the order states.
The document adds that this step will be taken to train models and create artificial intelligence agents to test a variety of new hypotheses, automate research workflows, and accelerate scientific breakthroughs.
«The Genesis mission will bring together our nation’s research and development resources, combining the efforts of brilliant American scientists, including those working in our national laboratories, with leading American companies, world-renowned universities, and existing research infrastructure, data repositories, manufacturing facilities, and national security facilities, to achieve a dramatic acceleration of the development and use of artificial intelligence,» the order signed by Trump states.
The expected results of the Genesis Mission should be to accelerate scientific discovery, strengthen national security, ensure energy dominance, increase workforce productivity, and multiply the return on taxpayer investment in research and development, and most importantly, America’s technological dominance and global strategic leadership.
The US Department of Energy is responsible for implementing the mission, and the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology is to provide overall project management.
At the same time, within 90 days from the date of publication of this order, the Secretary shall identify federal computing and networking resources available to support the mission, including both on-premises and cloud-based high-performance computing systems of the U.S. Department of Energy, as well as resources available through industry partners.
«The Minister should also identify any additional partnerships or infrastructure improvements that could support the computing foundation of the platform,» the document said.
Meanwhile, the launch of a project does not equal its success, because the day before, we reported that Elon Musk’s DOGE department, which was supposed to become a «chainsaw for bureaucracy,» had ceased to exist.
Meanwhile, as dev.ua wrote, Big Tech «threw itself» into the construction of a new White House ballroom, which Trump initiated for $250 million.
