Energy Department identifies 26 Genesis Mission challenges

The Department of Energy has identified 26 challenges that it’s looking to tackle in order to advance the Genesis Mission, representing broad problems such as “bridging the gap between scientific discovery and commercially viable products” and more precise issues like “preventing nuclear materials and information from falling into the hands of rogue and dangerous actors.”

In the 26-page document accompanying the announcement Thursday, each challenge is accompanied by a proposed AI “solution,” justification and national impact. 

“These 26 challenges are a direct call to action to America’s researchers and innovators to join the Genesis Mission and deliver science and technology breakthroughs that will benefit the American people,” Michael Kratsios, assistant to the president and director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, said in a statement. “We look forward to expanding the list of challenges across federal agencies to bring even greater impact to the Mission.”
