Genesis Mission AI marks a major step in strengthening U.S. leadership in artificial intelligence, as NVIDIA joins the U.S. Department of Energy as a private industry partner. The collaboration aims to expand AI infrastructure and accelerate research and development across energy, science, and national security. By aligning government, industry, and academia, the initiative seeks to ensure that the United States remains both the global leader and the global standard in AI innovation.
The Genesis Mission was launched as part of a recent Executive Order signed by President Trump. It focuses on redefining American leadership in three strategic areas where AI can deliver outsized impact.
These include energy systems critical to economic growth, scientific research that underpins long-term innovation, and national security capabilities essential to global stability. Genesis Mission AI is designed to turn advanced computing into a multiplier for discovery and productivity.
As part of the mission, NVIDIA will work with the Department of Energy to integrate a discovery platform that connects federal agencies, national laboratories, private industry, and academic researchers.
DOE officials expect Genesis Mission AI to significantly increase the productivity of American science and engineering. The goal is to deliver breakthroughs that secure energy dominance, accelerate discovery timelines, and strengthen national defense capabilities.
NVIDIA and the DOE are already collaborating on several high-impact research areas. These include open AI science models, such as the NVIDIA Apollo family, which are advancing weather forecasting, computational fluid dynamics, and structural mechanics. AI is also being applied to optimize manufacturing workflows and supply chains, helping industries improve efficiency and resilience.
Robotics, edge AI, and autonomous laboratories are another major focus of Genesis Mission AI. By combining high-fidelity simulation, digital twins, and AI-driven automation, researchers can design and test complex systems faster and more safely. This approach is particularly valuable for experimental facilities and real-time decision-making environments where speed and accuracy are critical.
Energy research sits at the core of the collaboration. NVIDIA and the DOE are applying AI to nuclear fission and fusion research, aiming to improve reactor design, control, and safety. At the same time, AI is accelerating work in quantum computing, where supercomputers and machine learning models are being used to discover new algorithms and push the boundaries of computation.
Beyond energy and computing, Genesis Mission AI extends into biology, materials science, and synthetic design. These efforts support advances in healthcare, critical materials, and environmental sustainability. AI-driven discovery in these fields can shorten development cycles and unlock solutions to problems that were previously too complex or time-consuming to tackle.
To formalize the partnership, NVIDIA has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Department of Energy. The MOU outlines shared priorities, including AI for manufacturing, open-source AI, robotics, digital twins, fusion energy, quantum computing, and advanced scientific applications. It also establishes a framework for expanding collaboration as new opportunities emerge.
The agreement builds on NVIDIA’s growing role in U.S. supercomputing initiatives. Recent collaborations announced at the NVIDIA GTC Washington, D.C. conference include work with Oracle to build the DOE’s largest supercomputer for scientific research at Argonne National Laboratory. NVIDIA is also supporting new systems at Argonne and Los Alamos National Laboratories, further accelerating the nation’s AI and high-performance computing capabilities.
At a broader level, Genesis Mission AI reflects how artificial intelligence is driving a new industrial revolution. NVIDIA’s accelerated computing architecture, which underpins modern AI, enables researchers to train massive models, simulate physical systems, and explore scientific questions at unprecedented scale. By embedding these capabilities into national research infrastructure, the United States aims to convert AI leadership into lasting economic and strategic advantage.
As AI continues to reshape energy, science, and security, the Genesis Mission signals a long-term commitment to collaboration and investment. By bringing together government vision and industry innovation, Genesis Mission AI is positioned to expand the frontiers of discovery and reinforce U.S. leadership in the AI-driven future.
