President Trump's "Genesis Mission" aims to revolutionize U.S. science by integrating national labs, supercomputers, and data into a unified AI platform. This ambitious initiative, likened to the Manhattan Project, seeks to accelerate discoveries across various scientific fields. The executive order mandates the Department of Energy to establish a closed-loop AI experimentation system by connecting federal resources and data. Collaborations with private sector, academic, and nonprofit entities are central to its success. Prominent AI and computing firms are involved, signifying the integral role of private technical capacity in development. However, the initiative notably lacks public cost estimates or explicit funding allocations, sparking concerns about financial transparency and potential subsidies for large AI firms. Reports highlight the immense financial strain on major AI labs, particularly OpenAI, due to escalating compute and data expenses. The Genesis Mission's infrastructure could potentially alleviate these capital bottlenecks for private frontier model labs. Standardized agreements for model sharing, IP, and commercialization are being developed for private sector integration. The absence of explicit mention of open-source model development is a notable omission, contrasting with some previous administration statements. While the initiative promises access to vast federal datasets, the extent of private company access remains to be fully defined, with security and vetting processes emphasized. The Genesis Mission also codifies the development of autonomous AI agents for scientific discovery. The significant cost and scale of the platform, coupled with the lack of financial clarity, leave its ultimate impact and beneficiaries subject to speculation.

Democracy is colliding with the technologies of artificial intelligence. Judging from the audience reaction at the recent World Forum on Democracy in Strasbourg, the general expectation is that democracy will be the worse for it. We have another narrative. Yes, there are risks to democracy from AI, but there are also opportunities. We have just published the book Rewiring Democracy: How AI will Transform Politics, Government, and Citizenship. In it, we take a clear-eyed view of how AI is undermining confidence in our information ecosystem, how the use of biased AI can harm constituents of democracies and how elected officials with authoritarian tendencies can use it to consolidate power. But we also give positive examples of how AI is transforming democratic governance and politics for the better...
