Investing.com-- U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order aimed at launching a pan-government venture to build an integrated artificial intelligence platform that will use federal scientific data.
The venture, which Trump called the “Genesis Mission,” aims to boost scientific research and fast track discoveries by using AI and massive government scientific datasets.
“The Genesis Mission will build an integrated AI platform to harness Federal scientific datasets… to train scientific foundation models and create AI agents to test new hypotheses, automate research workflows, and accelerate scientific breakthroughs,” Trump wrote in the order.
The effort will involve the Department of Energy, the National Science and Technology Council, and U.S. National Laboratories, the order said.
Trump instructed the DOE to create a government AI experimentation platform integrating U.S. supercomputers and data to create foundation AI models and also power robotic laboratories.
Trump has touted U.S. dominance in AI as a main goal for his administration, and has also prioritized beating China in the technology. He had earlier this year ordered his administration to produce an AI action plan to maker the U.S. the “world capital” in AI.
