DOE Launches Genesis Mission
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced agreements with 24 organizations, including tech giants Microsoft, Google, and Nvidia, to advance the Genesis Mission.
This national program aims to use artificial intelligence to accelerate scientific research and strengthen U.S. energy and security capabilities.
Boosting Scientific Productivity
The DOE said the program will boost scientific productivity and reduce reliance on foreign technology. Participants also include Amazon Web Services, IBM, Intel, Oracle, OpenAI, startups, and research groups.
The partnerships will develop AI models for applications such as nuclear energy, quantum computing, robotics, and supply chain optimization.
Executive Support for AI Innovation
The initiative follows a recent executive order encouraging AI applications in energy innovation, advanced manufacturing, and national security.
Genesis Mission builds on prior collaborations between the DOE and tech companies to deploy high-performance computing systems at Argonne and Los Alamos National Laboratories.
Expanding Collaboration
The DOE expects the effort to significantly accelerate scientific discovery. It plans to expand partnerships with universities and non-profits to further drive innovation.
