PHOENIX— A Genesis consortium of public, private partnerships has already identified more than two dozen national science challenges, Kristen Ellis, a longtime DOE supervisor who is currently the associate principal deputy undersecretary for science, said here Tuesday.
The Genesis Mission is designed to be a joint effort by industry and the Department of Energy’s national laboratories to use artificial intelligence to quicken the pace of scientific research, conference goers heard here this week.
“And we will now be working much more closely with industry, academia and philantropy to build the world’s most powerful and versatile scientific platform.” Ellis said.
Ellis led a panel discussion on Genesis this week at the Waste Management Symposia. She went on to say “when it’s complete, it will be the most complex and powerful scientific instrument ever built.”
The Genesis Mission is designed to connect super computers for technical advancements from energy to national security, according to the DOE Genesis Mission website.
The Genesis Mission has gotten off to a fast start and attracted much industry funding since President Donald Trump signed the executive order in November, Ellis said. Trump’s order said the Genesis Mission would help the United States establish technological dominance.
