President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to launch the Genesis Mission. The White House described the mission as “a new national effort to use artificial intelligence (AI) to transform how scientific research is conducted and accelerate the speed of scientific discovery.”
The mission directs the Energy Department to leverage the National Laboratories and create a closed-loop AI experimentation platform for supercomputers to generate scientific foundation models and power robotic laboratories. The Assistant to the President for Science and Technology (APST) will coordinate efforts of the National Science Foundation (NSF), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and National Institutes of Health (NIH) for the national initiative, as well as the integration of data and infrastructure in the government.
“The Genesis Mission connects world-class scientific data with the most advanced American AI to unlock breakthroughs in medicine, energy, materials science, and beyond,” said White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Director Michael Kratsios.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For the president to seek God’s guidance as he supports and advances the use and implementation of artificial intelligence.
- For Director Kratsios as he coordinates federal artificial intelligence research across agencies.
- For wisdom for U.S. officials as they deliberate the guardrails to place on AI.
