Trump Launches “Genesis Mission” to Accelerate AI Research | WPN World People News

U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on November 24, officially launching the “Genesis Mission,” aimed at accelerating the development and application of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and strengthening America’s leadership in the global AI race.

According to foreign media reports, Michael Kratsios, Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, stated that the initiative will coordinate research across government agencies, fully integrate AI tools, and open federal databases and the Department of Energy’s national laboratory computing resources. These efforts are expected to significantly shorten the time needed for scientific breakthroughs.

A senior official, speaking anonymously, revealed that the Genesis Mission will collaborate with private-sector companies such as Nvidia, Dell, HPE, and AMD to enhance the supercomputing capabilities of national laboratories. The initiative aims to advance innovation in materials engineering, health sciences, and energy, thereby boosting productivity and lowering prices through technological innovation in response to voter concerns over rising living costs.

However, the energy-hungry data centers required for AI development have sparked concerns about strain on the power grid. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm emphasized that one of the mission’s ultimate goals is to increase energy supply, improve grid efficiency, and reduce energy costs. “We will curb the continued rise in energy prices and ultimately put downward pressure on electricity rates,” she said.

Department of Energy Chief of Staff Paul M. Dabbar noted that the Genesis Mission highlights the Trump administration’s strong focus on the AI technology race, calling it as significant as the Manhattan Project and the space race. Trump has repeatedly underscored the strategic value of AI, planning to make it a top priority in Washington, and intends to relax regulations through executive action while promoting unified federal standards to prevent states from enacting their own separate legislation. Reportedly, Trump is prepared to file lawsuits against state-level AI regulations deemed unconstitutional.
