On November 24, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order formally launching Genesis Mission, a national-level scientific research initiative, declaring that the United States will reshape its scientific research system driven by artificial intelligence. This executive order carries extraordinary strategic weight, aiming to build a unified national AI research platform that systematically integrates the massive scientific data resources accumulated across federal agencies and transforms them into a strategic force for advancing basic research and cutting-edge technological breakthroughs. Judged by its policy intensity and organizational scale, this move is not merely an ordinary adjustment to science and technology planning, but rather a nationwide mobilization comparable to the Apollo Program and the Manhattan Project, reflecting the United States’ sense of urgency and strategic ambition in the new round of global technological competition.
The launch of Genesis Mission signals the U.S. attempt to leverage national power to build a full-chain research system featuring the synergy of data, computing power, talent, and institutions. It seeks to make artificial intelligence the core engine of scientific discovery, comprehensively elevating the depth of AI application and R&D efficiency in basic research. Its potential impact will not only transform the U.S. research ecosystem but also profoundly reshape the landscape of future technological competition.
