The Department of Energy is launching an integrated artificial intelligence platform that combines government data with research from national labs, universities, and businesses to accelerate scientific and technological breakthroughs in fields like energy and computing.
The DOE will lead the Genesis Mission, which seeks to harness the power of AI and advanced computing to mobilize the Department of Energy’s 17 national laboratories, industry and academia to build an integrated discovery platform.
Under Secretary for Science Darío Gil will lead the initiative to connect the world’s best supercomputers, AI systems and next-generation quantum systems with the most advanced scientific instruments in the nation.
The DOE said the will draw on the expertise of approximately 40,000 DOE scientists, engineers and technical staff alongside private sector innovators.
The Genesis Mission will focus on addressing three key challenges of national importance:
- The Genesis Mission will accelerate advanced nuclear, fusion and grid modernization using AI to provide affordable, reliable and secure energy for Americans.
- Building a quantum ecosystem to power discoveries and industries.
- 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.
