Trump orders moonshot-like 'Genesis Mission' relying on AI to merge science data across the US [View all]

That’s one giant leap for AI. The Trump administration is unleashing thousands of massive data sets — compiled by agencies throughout the federal government — and the capabilities of America’s world-renowned national laboratories into a government-wide effort to supercharge and coalesce scientific research using Artificial Intelligence in the hope of developing new drugs and other major breakthroughs.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday establishing what the administration is calling the “Genesis Mission,” with top administration officials predicting that the new effort will go down in history as having equal importance to America’s Cold War-era space race that saw the US meet President John F. Kennedy’s 1962 vow to land a man on the Moon before that decade’s close.

Michael Kratsios, the director of the White House Office of Science and Technology, described the new Trump administration AI project as the “largest marshaling of federal scientific resources since the Apollo program” during a call with reporters earlier Monday.

He explained that the project’s “national AI for science effort” would leverage “the unmatched computing capabilities and resources of the Department of Energy's National Laboratories to unlock federal data sets, enable autonomous, closed loop experimentation and massively accelerate the rate of scientific breakthroughs,” such as the rate of new drug approvals that have “flatlined or declined” over the last few decades.

If this happens, it will be the largest FACTS IN / GARBAGE OUT catastrophe in history.

Meanwhile, REAL and TANGIBLE work has basically been neutralized, slashed, burned, and destroyed by the devastating funding cuts to President Biden's "Cancer Moonshot" and other actual medical and scientific research.
