Genesis Mission Overview

The U.S. Department of Energy's Genesis Mission, a major initiative integrating AI, quantum computing, and high-performance supercomputing into scientific research, was presented to the U.S. ATLAS Institutional Board on March 18, 2026. Jeremy Love, Program Manager at DOE-HEP, outlined the mission's scope, which includes collaborators such as Amazon Web Services, NVIDIA, and Microsoft.

The Genesis Mission is a major U.S. Department of Energy DOE initiative designed to integrate Artificial Intelligence AI , quantum computing, and high-performance supercomputing directly into scientific research.
