US Launches Genesis Mission - AI's "Manhattan Project"

Published about 1 month agoΒ β€’Β 2 min read

πŸͺ« "ChatGPT-4 is the dumbest model any of you will ever, ever have to use again, by a lot.” - Sam Altman

Hello Reader,

The Genesis Mission, a new Ai initiative launched by U.S. President Donald Trump, has been framed by the administration as comparable in scale to the Manhattan Project. The program aims to accelerate scientific discovery by combining artificial intelligence with large federal research datasets.

The effort will apply Ai systems to data from agencies including NASA, the National Institutes of Health, and the Department of Energy. These datasets cover climate systems, oceans, space, materials science, and the human genome.

Officials say Ai could reduce discovery timelines from years to days by automating experiment design, accelerating simulations, and producing predictive models in areas such as protein folding, fusion energy, and advanced materials.

The Department of Energy has sixty days to identify twenty priority scientific challenges and ninety days to map national computing resources. It must demonstrate progress on at least one challenge within nine months.

The long-term goal is to double U.S. research productivity within a decade. Companies including Nvidia, OpenAI, Microsoft, IBM, Google, and Amazon Web Services are listed as collaborators, though funding and governance details have not yet been disclosed.

After Gemini 3 was released, Sam Altman declared a 'red alert' and reallocated programming resources to launch the latest version of ChatGPT - 5.2.

πŸͺž Let's reflect together

Every year, I have published an Annual Review on my personal website. I have a Google Doc template I've used, year after year, to ask myself these introspective questions on New Year's Eve.

It's $20 to attend. You can pay in NZD, AUD, or USD.

I wrote a book called Marketing Yourself, which helped thousands of experts...
