On December 10, 2025, the U.S. Department of Energy unveiled a substantial investment exceeding $320 million, earmarked for elevating the artificial intelligence prowess within the 'Genesis Initiative'. This ambitious initiative, born out of an executive order signed by President Trump on November 24, is geared towards harnessing the transformative power of AI to redefine the landscape of scientific research methodologies and expedite the pace of scientific breakthroughs. The initiative's blueprint mandates the Department of Energy to spearhead the creation of an AI experimental platform, seamlessly integrate the nation's supercomputing infrastructure and data repositories, foster the development of foundational scientific models, and extend robust support to robotic laboratories.
