According to reports from CCTV News and other media outlets, on November 24 local time, the White House issued a statement saying that President Trump signed an executive order to launch a program aimed at utilizing artificial intelligence. Genesis , a new national program that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to transform scientific research and accelerate scientific discovery. The "Genesis Mission" plan .
The statement indicated that the order directs the Department of Energy to create an artificial intelligence experimental platform, integrating U.S. supercomputers and unique data assets to generate scientific foundational models for robotics . The laboratory will provide support. The order directs the President's Assistant for Science and Technology Affairs (APST) to coordinate this national initiative and integrate data and infrastructure across federal government departments. The Secretary of Energy, the President's Assistant for Science and Technology Affairs, and the Special Advisor on Artificial Intelligence and Encryption will collaborate with innovators in academia and the private sector to support and enhance the Genesis Initiative.
This is the latest move by the Trump administration to promote artificial intelligence technology and its applications.
The " Genesis Initiative" further strengthened growth expectations for core companies in the US AI sector. Following this news, US AI stocks rose in after-hours trading on Monday. Alphabet, a leading company in AI model development, saw its stock price rise more than 2% in after-hours trading; Broadcom, a leader in customized ASIC chips for AI, also saw gains. Up about 1.5%; AI storage chips Micron Technology It rose by nearly 1%.
Before Trump signed the executive order, Michael Kratsios, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, told reporters that the effort aims to better coordinate research efforts across federal government departments and more efficiently integrate artificial intelligence tools to achieve more scientific breakthroughs.
Kratsios added that the plan will make full use of the computing resources at the Department of Energy's national laboratories to mine federal datasets and conduct more experiments using artificial intelligence. He predicted that this initiative will help shorten the timeline for scientific discoveries .
"With the power of artificial intelligence, the United States is on the verge of a scientific revolution," he said.
A senior government official revealed that the US government and Nvidia... Dell Technologies Wisdom and and Advanced Micro Devices Collaborations with private companies such as AMD will enhance the supercomputing resources of national laboratories. The official also noted that recent announcements of collaborations by these companies serve as examples of potential new partnerships in the future.
Federal officials said Monday that the latest measures will accelerate scientific discoveries in materials engineering, health sciences, and energy . They also sought to portray the innovations as crucial to boosting production and lowering prices, another key priority for the administration amid growing voter concerns about the cost of living.
This helps to address the issue of rising energy costs.
However, the massive computing resources required for the development and application of artificial intelligence rely on energy-intensive data centers. This has raised concerns that the adoption of artificial intelligence technology will only increase the pressure on the US power grid.
US Energy Secretary Chris Wright responded on Monday, saying the "Genesis Plan" would help address rising energy costs . He stated that one of the plan's "ultimate goals" in the energy sector is to "increase energy supply, improve grid efficiency, and reverse the price increases that are causing discontent among Americans."
"We will curb the upward trend in energy prices. First, we will stabilize prices, and eventually, this will put downward pressure on electricity prices," he said.
Benchmarking against the "Manhattan Project"
Last week, U.S. Energy Department Chief of Staff Carl Coe foresaw that Trump planned to unveil the "Genesis Project" at the White House this Monday. He stated at the time that this effort aimed to demonstrate that the Trump administration considers the upcoming artificial intelligence race to be as important as the "Manhattan Project" or the space race .
Kratsios further described the Genesis program on Monday as "the largest mobilization of federal science resources since the Apollo program" —the Apollo program was the U.S. mission to send humans to the moon and bring them safely back to Earth.
Trump has frequently touted the prospects of artificial intelligence and made its development a top priority for his administration. Through a series of executive orders, Trump has taken steps to ease regulatory burdens and make it easier for businesses to build AI infrastructure and data centers .
Furthermore, the Trump administration has attempted to prevent individual states from enacting their own AI regulatory policies, advocating for unified federal regulatory standards. It is understood that Trump is preparing to sign another executive order allowing the Justice Department to sue states over AI regulations it deems unconstitutional.
