Summary
Starts the Genesis Mission, a national project to use AI and government data to solve major science and technology challenges and keep America ahead.
What problem does this solve?
America is in a global race to lead in artificial intelligence, and current efforts are not coordinated enough to solve the biggest scientific problems. The Genesis Mission creates a unified national platform, combining government data, labs, and private companies to speed up AI-driven scientific breakthroughs.
Who does this affect?
- Federal scientists and researchers
- Technology and AI companies
- University researchers and academic institutions
What does this order do?
Establishes the Genesis Mission
Creates a national effort to use artificial intelligence for major scientific discoveries, comparing its importance to the Manhattan Project.

Identification of national science and technology challenges
Identifies key science and technology challenges
Requires the Secretary of Energy to list at least 20 national challenges in areas like biotechnology, nuclear energy, and semiconductors that the Mission will focus on.
Coordinates government and private sector efforts
Sets up a system for different government agencies and private companies to work together, share data, and fund research for the Mission's goals.
Requires annual progress reports
Mandates that the Secretary of Energy report to the President every year on the Mission's progress, research outcomes, and user engagement.
What is the real world impact?
•
Prioritizes national security and military advantage
Compares the mission to the Manhattan Project and explicitly mentions strengthening national security and securing energy dominance. This suggests a focus on military and strategic applications of AI over purely public scientific benefit.
When does this start?
This order takes effect on November 24, 2025, and sets several deadlines for actions within the first year.
