President Trump has launched the Genesis Mission, a major national AI initiative that he has likened to the Manhattan Project. The program seeks to consolidate resources, including Department of Energy supercomputers, national laboratories, and vast scientific datasets, into a unified platform to expedite breakthroughs in fusion energy, biotechnology, microelectronics, and advanced manufacturing. Trump emphasized that AI should serve not only as a scientific catalyst but also as a critical element of national security. The initiative includes stringent timelines for addressing key scientific challenges, integrating interagency data, enabling AI experimentation, and fostering public-private partnerships. While the administration claims this will position the U.S. as a global leader in AI research, skeptics remain cautious about its potential effectiveness as a large-scale federal project.
