The Department of Energy Genesis Mission is a presidential executive order establishing a national effort to accelerate AI-driven scientific discovery.

Led by the Secretary of Energy, the Mission creates the American Science and Security Platform, integrating DOE national laboratory supercomputers, secure cloud-based AI environments, and federally curated scientific datasets to train foundation models and develop AI agents for automated research.

The initiative targets at least 20 national science and technology challenges spanning advanced manufacturing, critical materials, nuclear energy, quantum information science, and semiconductors. The Mission facilitates interagency coordination, public-private partnerships through cooperative research agreements, and competitive fellowship programs for researchers at national laboratories.

Annual reporting to the President tracks platform capabilities, research outcomes, and technology commercialization progress across participating federal agencies and external partners.

Purpose . From the founding of our Republic, scientific discovery and technological innovation have driven American progress and prosperity. Today, America is in a race for global technology dominance in the development of artificial intelligence (AI), an important frontier of scientific discovery and economic growth.

To that end, my Administration has taken a number of actions to win that race, including issuing multiple Executive Orders and implementing America’s AI Action Plan, which recognizes the need to invest in AI-enabled science to accelerate scientific advancement.

In this pivotal moment, the challenges we face require a historic national effort, comparable in urgency and ambition to the Manhattan Project that was instrumental to our victory in World War II and was a critical basis for the foundation of the Department of Energy (DOE) and its national laboratories.

This order launches the “Genesis Mission” as a dedicated, coordinated national effort to unleash a new age of AI‑accelerated innovation and discovery that can solve the most challenging problems of this century.

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 and create AI agents to test 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 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.

We will harness for the benefit of our Nation the revolution underway in computing, and build on decades of innovation in semiconductors and high-performance computing.

The Genesis Mission will dramatically accelerate scientific discovery, strengthen national security, secure energy dominance, enhance workforce productivity, and multiply the return on taxpayer investment into research and development, thereby furthering America’s technological dominance and global strategic leadership.
